2. Crochet 24 rows of HDC to create the base (adjust the number of rows based on your desired apron size).
3. Optionally, finish the base with 2 rows of SC if you want a clean edge.

2. Create the Pockets

1. Attach Yarn: Attach yarn to the base where the first pocket will begin.
2. Make Rows:
   • CH 1, then work 5 rows of HDC.
   • Once complete, cut and tie off the yarn at the end of the row.
3. Repeat for all pockets along the base, ensuring each pocket has 5 rows of HDC.

3. Sew the Pockets to the Apron Base

1. Attach Yarn for Sewing: Insert your hook through the bottom corner of the pocket and the apron base. Attach the yarn using a slip knot.
2. Slip Stitch (SLST):
   • Insert the hook through the pocket and then into the respective stitch on the apron base.
   • Yarn over, pull through, and complete a SLST.
3. Continue slip stitching until the pocket is securely attached to the base.
4. Repeat for all pockets, making sure they are evenly spaced.

4. Add Waist Ties

1. Calculate Waist Length: Determine the number of CH needed for the ties to wrap around your body. In the tutorial, about 90 chains were used per side. Adjust for your size.
2. Crochet the Tie: Work HDC stitches starting from the 2nd chain from the hook. Continue until you reach the end of the row.
3. Attach the completed tie to one side of the apron. Repeat this step for the other side.

5. Finalize the Pockets

1. Measure Sections: Measure the pocket rows to divide them into compartments (each pocket should be 3-4 inches wide).
2. Sew Dividers: Insert your hook into the pocket and the base at the division point. Attach yarn using a slip knot and work SLST to divide the large pocket into smaller compartments. Repeat this for all rows.
