I don't know about you, but my nightstand tends to get cluttered with all sorts of random knickknacks by the end of the week. Between the various remotes, my phone, the baby monitor, any crochet or knitting projects, the top of my nightstand tends to look like a disaster of random objects. I wanted to be able to tuck away my remotes and phone from the clutter, but still be easily accessible. (This also hides the remotes from my toddlers from seeing them and wanting to turn on and off the tv)
This is it is a great beginner pattern! When I was first starting off crocheting, I was not wanting to just make a rectangle scarf and work a single stitch for what seemed like endless rows. This is great to practice your tensions with Double Crochets and Treble Crochets. It is also great for those balls of yarn in your stash that you don't have a lot of. (I am totally guilty of either buying too much yarn for a project or just 1 skein because I fell in love with the color alone)
Don't want to start the project right now? No problem! Favorite the project on Ravelry and make it later!

Pattern
Back Panel: *Ch 34 + 2 *Row 1: DC 3rd Ch from the Hook, DC across, turn (35 DC) *Row 2-20: Ch 2, DC Across, turn (35 DC) *Row 21-24: Ch 3, TR Across, turn (35 TR) Cut Yarn and Fasten off
Top Long Pocket: Make 1 *Ch 34 +2 *Row 1: DC 3rd chain from the hook, DC Across, Turn (35 DC) *Row 2-5: Ch 2, DC Across; Turn Leave a long tail to sew to Back Panel
Bottom Tall Pockets: Make 2 *Ch 16+2 *Row 1: DC into 3rd chain from the hook, DC across, Turn (17 DC) *Row 2-14: Ch 2, DC Across, Turn Leave a long tail to sew to Back Panel
Take the two tall rectangles and line them to each of the bottom corners of the back panel (where the DC Rows are NOT the TR Rows!) and sew them on. Line your DC Rows up, the pockets should go up to the 14th row of the back panel.
Take the Long rectangle with the long end on the top. Using the stitch markers, attach the bottom corner of the rectangle 1 row above the top of the bottom two pockets. Attach the top two corners 5 rows up with stitch markers. Sew pocket onto the back panel using the long tail. Take some extra yarn and you can either sew a little knot in the top of the pocket(where the red stitch marker is) hold the pocket up, or sew a line vertically up at the same place
Weave in and cut any remaining ends
