Teen's CD Player Holder

My daughter recently bought a CD player for herself and she asked me if I could make her a holder for the CD player. So this is what I came up with. It is sturdy because it has old CD's inside to keep it's shape and the strap goes all the way around it.

Materials Needed
Worsted weight acrylic yarn in lavendar
Worsted weight acrylic yarn in Amethyst.
Worsted weight acrylic yarn in light yellow.
2 old CD's
Size H/8 or 5mm aluminum crochet hook
Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Yarn Thickness: 4mm
Gauge: 4dc = 1"
Finished Size: 6&189;" wide, strap is 1&189; wide, CD part is 2" thick, overall length is 35"
Skill Level: Intermediate
