Plum Bedside Caddy

On my hook today was this super quick, cozy and pretty "Plum Bedside Caddy" using Bernat Blanket Yarn in Plum Chutney and Purple Plum.  These 2 colors together are so, so pretty.

This "Plum Bedside Caddy" could be used for yarn and notions; remote controls, tissues and magazines; children's books and small toys.  Lots of uses for it.  And, depending on the colors you use, this Caddy can be made for anyone!!!
