Bloom Bathroom Organizer: free crochet pattern

I can finally share the pattern of my new Bloom Bathroom Organizer with you! This project is very flexible (quick and easy to make) and can be easily adjusted according to your needs. You can make the pockets wider and deeper. You can make additional pockets, if you wish. And you can use any colors you like to match your bathroom interior. We will hopefully move to another apartment in a few months, and my new bathroom will be grey and white. And my new organizer will fit it just perfect! Enjoy! :)

You will need: 

• Bloom yarn by Scheepjes in shades 421 (Old Lily) and 422 (Grey Thistle) - 130g (3 skeins) of each.

Bloom yarn comes in a variety of shades. You can read my review about it HERE. And you can also have a look at color charts and purchase this yarn via Wool Warehouse* and Deramores* (both retailers ship order internationally), Paradise Fibers* (US) or at Scheepjes website (NL and BE).

• Crochet hook Clover Soft Touch 4 mm crochet hook*
• Curtain rings 4-5 cm - three pieces
• A pair of wooden or metal needles 35cm long
• Scissors and tapestry needle to weave yarn tails in. 

Important note: I used wooden needles to strengthen back side of each pocket. But when the pockets are filled with something heavy, the needleы start to bend, and can even broken. So if you plan to use this organizer for heavy stuff, please, consider usштп metal needles instead of wooden.

Level: Beginner
 
Size. The size of each finished pocket will depend on yarn and hook you choose and also on your personal gauge. My pockets are approx. 30cm (12in) and 18cm (7in) large.

Using tapestry needle and yarn of matching color, sew 2 rings to the sides of one pocket, and to the bottom corners of another pocket. Find the center of upper pocket and sew 3rd ring to the stitches made around the needle.

If you would like to divide the pocket into two smaller parts, you can sew through it with runnning stitch using tapestry needle and yarn of matching color.
