Where do you keep your cell phone? In a pretty pocket? Pretty pockets can be used to carry cell phones, small digital cameras, MP3 players, business cards or anything else of similar size.

When I saw this yarn in the shop, I knew immediately it would look like denim when felted. So, I turned it into a pretty pocket.

This pretty pocket is hand knitted and machine felted. A chocolate brown wool was used to add stitching to the front of this pocket. Then silver grommets were added to the sides. I ran some satiny brown ribbon through the grommets and through a pair of silver heart buttons, tied a simple knot to hold the buttons in place. You can use this just as it is. If you'd prefer to hang this from your purse strap, it's easy to undo the simple knot and remove the ribbon from one side in order, slip over your purse strap and then put back together.

I've pictured this from the front, the back and each of the sides. The last picture is before felting.

ribbon (as pictured): about 5.5 inches (14 CM) from the top of the pocket
