The Design Process

Inspiration

If you haven’t checked out some of my FK Life posts you may not know that we are building our home. Given this once in a life opportunity to build a home I am about all things home textiles right now and being intentional about what we truly need in the home to help us stay organized and functional. There are two things I typically have in my hands when I walk in the door. Mail and keys….and I always need a place to put them when I walk in the door.

Sure there are other options out there that I could buy and to be honest I did buy one but I don’t like the color of it with the aesthetic I am going for in our mudroom. So being what I am I decided to make my own….

The Yarn

I chose to use Lion Brand’s Rewind Yarn, it has a nice texture and created a good amount of structure for what I was looking for when held double. It is a tape like yarn and is very lightweight so it didn’t create too heavy of a finished product.

Notes

Wall Pocket Organizer

This project is worked up by holding the yarn double throughout. You will crochet a rectangle, and then begin decreasing to create the bottom flap. The yarn is then attached to each side and worked in decreasing rows. The sides and bottom are then seemed together to create the envelope. You will then attach the hanging dowel and hooks to finish the project. Leave extra long yarn tails for seaming. Turning chains are not counted as a stitch.
