I find the printed pattern easier to follow than the YouTube video. Also shortened it by 5 stitches. Pockets are 20sts, top is 5. I like the firm fabric this hook & yarn combo produce. The second photo also shows the plastic mesh stiffener I used from JoAnne Fabrics. I sewed the zipper in using the zipper foot on my machine after basting it in. Turned out very nicely. I added the crochet hooks, a yarn needle and some stitch markers to make a nice presentation. Guesstimating that I used about 1.5 skeins of yarn.
