Hello, I am happy to have found this site. I am retired or a better word deployed. I do whatever it takes to stay busy. Crocheting has always been confusing to me. I can make a scarf but when it comes to reading patterns I am more often than not very confused. I was able to print some of your easier patterns and would like to send a seed offering next month to your group. Are you connected to any groups in my area, Amsterdam, New York, Schnectady New York that I can attend? Thanks for this site and will continue to visit.

Hi Kay, on the first round you're working across the chain to make 30 dc (the first 3 chains are skipped), then you're working on the opposite side of the chain to make another 30 dc. So 30 +30 = 60 dc. Here's a tutorial on working on the opposite side of the chain if you need it: How to Crochet on Opposite Side of Chain

since you start with 33 chain stitches how do you end with 60 dc?

Hi Nita, for rounds 1 – 15, you sl st in the top of the ch-3 joining to the beginning of the round, but you do NOT turn. You will be crocheting in a circle, since the end of your round meets the beginning of your round. Rounds 1 – 15 creates the pocket shape. In rounds 16 – 21, you DO turn, because at this part the top of the pocket and handle are being made and you will only be crocheting on half (one side) of the pocket. Let me know if you need more help.

This is a great idea, but I need help. At the end of each row, do you sl st in top of ch-3 joining, then ch-3 and turn? There seems to be a missing step or it may be that I’m just not experienced enough. Thanks!

Rachel, thanks so much for sharing. This will make great stocking stuffers. I also plan to make some for senior citizens, such as my mom who constantly misplaces her keys. Thanks again.

Thanks, Rachel! You must have designed this with me in mind LOL. I am always losing something that I need to take with me – my keys or my cell, etc.

It is usually possible to print only what you want to by highlighting (click and drag) the area that you want to print then right In The Area that you have highlighted and select print. Be sure to click Selection before clicking print in the print box. I hope this works for you.
