Instructions

To Start

Ch 8 – add more if needed. You just need to be able to cover the front of the remote without going over the sides of the remote. Reason for this is to make the remote pocket tight so it will stretch and grab the remote later so it won’t slip off so easily.

Acrylic yarn is great at stretching so I recommend this one for that reason.

sc in the 2nd ch from your hook. Crochet down your chain. Put 3 sc’s in the very last stitch of your row. Then pivot your work. We’ll be working on the bottom of our ch now.

Continue down your ch and sc in the next 5 sts. Sc 2 in the end st. 16 sts total.

Place a marker here because we’ll be crocheting in one continuous round.

Rounds 2

sc in all sts around. When your piece gets big enough, turn it out where the front side of your work is out front and showing. Re-position your marker so you can see it better.

Rounds 3 and Beyond

sc in all sts around. If it starts to feel like it’s getting too big and loose, add a few sc decreases on the sides to shrink your pocket more.

Once you reach the desired length, do a round of slip stitches to make a nice polished finish. Hide your tails using a tapestry needle.
