my check's in the mail*

My husband and I, both, ran out of checks recently.  I didn’t notice how many checks I write, until I was without. I thought I would treat my new set of books to a new cozy.  I really needed a holder to keep both the checks and the register together and a cover to protect them from everything else I carry in my bag. I didn’t search for a pattern; the concept appeared to be simple enough.

What I used: Sugar and Cream yarn in 2 colors and an H hook.

MC- master color  AC- accent color

How I did it: starting with a single crochet foundation row of 22sc using MC.

Row1: ch3, dc in ea st.  (22dc)

Row2: using AC; ch1, sc in ss, sc in ea st. (22sc)

Repeat rows 1 and 2, 3 times. Use MC for dc rows, use AC for sc rows.

Rows9-18: ch3, dc in ea st. (22dc)

Rows19-22: using AC; ch1, sc in ss, sc in ea st. (22sc) fasten off and weave in ends.

Rows23-25: using the backside of the beginning chain; attach AC and ch3, dc in ea st across. (22dc)

Rows26-29: MC; ch1, sc in ss, sc in ea st. (22sc) fasten off and weave in ends.

Fold the ends of your work toward the center on the third row of dcs from the ends. Sew each side together to form the pockets. On the crease or fold of one side you can attach a chain of your desired length for a loop. This will go around a button on the opposite side.
