Edging & Joining: (Don't be scared by the looooooooong set of instructions. : ) You're basically folding up both ends of the caddy and single crocheting around the edges.
Rnd 1) The last row represents the wrong side of work, fold last 11 rows up so the wrong side is to the inside, folding along row 18 where dc is worked in front lps, matching last row, row 28 to row 7 where ch 1 sps began; pick up dropped lp, sl st over dc post on row 6; ch 1, (2 sc) over same dc post on end, (2 sc over next dc post on end) 5 times, fold opposite side of caddy up so that pockets are to the right side, at row 10, where dc are worked in back lps, and matching last row, row 18 to row 1 where ch 1 sps began, working through both sides to join, (2 sc) over next dc post through both sides, (2 sc over next dc post through both sides) twice, continuing to work over the dc posts on end and through the "pocket" created through rnds 11-15, [sk next 27 dc from ch 1 sp on pocket, (2 sc) over next dc post on pocket and next dc post on back] 6 times, (working along the bottom of caddy in free lps), sc in next 27 sts, sc over next ch 1 sp, sc in next 16 sts, (working up opposite side of caddy over end dc post on pocket and back cover), [sk next 15 dc from ch 1 sp on pocket, (2 sc) over next dc post on pocket and next dc post on back cover] 6 times, (2 sc over next dc post through both sides) 3 times (working last sc in top of dc on pocket front to secure), (2 sc over next dc post) 6 times, (with opposite pocket folded up), (2 sc over next dc post through both sides) 11 times, (working along bottom of caddy in free lps), (sc in next 12 sts, sc over next ch 1 sp) twice, sc in next 3 sts, sc over next ch 1 sp, sc in next 15 sts, (working back up opposite side through both front and back), (2 sc over next dc post through both sides) 11 times; join with a sl st in first sc. Fasten off; secure ends.
Forming individual pockets:
Join yarn to bottom row of any ch 1 sp through all thicknesses with a sl st (aligning sps); ch 25, pull up a lp and clip. Weave chain through the spaces. Pick up dropped lp and sl st to next st on back of pocket to secure. Fasten off; secure ends.
Continue to make chains to weave through 1 spaces until all individual pockets have been formed.
Finishing:
The pockets can hold up to 2 remotes, cordless phone, tv guide, notepad, pen or pencil, caculator, and reading glasses.
