This clever knitted organizer is designed to fit over the arm of a typical recliner. The pocket section provides convenient storage for remote controls, while the opposite end helps keep the caddy positioned over the chair arm.
The original design has three pockets, but the straightforward rectangular construction also makes the project easy to adapt to your own needs.
The pocket section is approximately 10.5 inches wide overall. The three individual pockets are approximately 3.75 inches, 3 inches and 3.75 inches wide.
The pockets are approximately 7 inches long, providing space for remote controls or other similarly sized items.
The distance between the top of the remote-control pockets and the counterweight sleeve is approximately 12 inches.
The pattern calls for bulky-weight yarn and US 9 (5.5 mm) knitting needles. The designer used approximately 5.6 ounces of yarn for the original project.
This can also be a useful stash-busting project. The designer used leftover yarns to create stripes, while a solid color or another combination of colors can work equally well.
The stated gauge is 16 stitches = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch.
Because the dimensions are designed to be adjustable, you can also compare the developing caddy directly with the chair or recliner where you intend to use it.
Remote Caddy/Koosi is a one-piece rectangular project worked flat. The pattern uses written instructions rather than a chart.
This simple construction makes the caddy a useful canvas for color changes and textured stitches. It can be knitted in stripes like the photographed project or worked in a single color for a simpler look.
One of the useful features of this pattern is that the dimensions can be altered. Before starting, measure the arm of the chair or recliner where you plan to use the finished organizer.
You can then consider the required width, the length of the hanging sections and the size of the objects you want to keep in the pockets.

Looking for an easy free slipper knitting pattern? Cloud Slippers by Adrienne Sullivan are soft, cozy slippers designed to knit up quickly with super bulky yarn and large needles.
This beginner-friendly pattern uses only basic knitting skills, and each slipper is worked flat in one piece before being folded and seamed. With four adult sizes for women and men, Cloud Slippers are a practical choice for cozy house slippers, quick gifts or a satisfying weekend knitting project.
One of the best features of Cloud Slippers is how little knitting experience you need to make them.
The pattern uses basic knit and purl stitches along with casting on and binding off. There is no complicated sock construction and no need to knit a traditional turned heel.
This makes the project particularly appealing if you want to try knitting something for your feet without starting with a conventional sock pattern.
Cloud Slippers are knitted flat rather than in the round. Each slipper is made as one piece and then folded in half.
The final shape is created by seaming the knitted piece from the toe toward the heel. This simple construction eliminates the need for double-pointed needles or other small-circumference knitting techniques.
If knitting socks in the round feels intimidating, this construction can be a much more approachable way to make a cozy pair of knitted slippers.
The free pattern includes four adult sizes:
Choose the size according to the recipient's shoe size and check the designer's original pattern information before beginning.
The original Cloud Slippers were designed with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, a super bulky yarn that produces a thick, warm fabric while knitting up rapidly on large needles.
Depending on the size, the pattern requires only approximately 55–90 yards (50–82 m) of super bulky yarn.
That relatively small yardage makes these slippers an interesting option when you have a partial ball of suitable super bulky yarn left from another project.
The pattern calls for 10 mm (US 15) knitting needles. The specified gauge is:
8 stitches × 16 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch.
Because slippers need to fit the foot reasonably well, gauge is still worth checking even though this is a quick and simple project.
Adrienne Sullivan designed Cloud Slippers so that a pair can be made with just one ball of the suggested Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick or an equivalent amount of suitable super bulky yarn.
Combined with the large needles and simple construction, this makes Cloud Slippers particularly attractive when you need a relatively quick handmade gift.
Cloud Slippers combine several features that make a small knitting project especially satisfying: thick yarn, large needles, simple stitches and minimal construction.
They are also available in both women's and men's sizes, so the same pattern can be used to make cozy slippers for several people.
Consider them for holiday gifts, house slippers, cold-weather knitting or simply as a quick project between larger sweaters and blankets.
Cloud Slippers was the winner of the 2019 STIK X Lion Brand Pattern Contest.
Since its publication, the simple one-piece construction has made it a popular choice among knitters looking for an approachable pair of chunky knitted slippers.
