Class Details:

These pockets, which are suitable for regular single thickness knitted fabrics, feel rather miraculous! Pockets are worked and completed without ever breaking the yarn. Using only a single yarn and by means of working and slipping stitches, we will build and grow a side opening pocket, complete with a selvage-edged garter stitch border for a fully finished effect. We will focus on both a vertical opening and then an angled opening. If time permits we'll review a pocket in the round from the open end.

Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, increase/decrease, working in the round

Homework:
In a light colored, smooth yarn (as described in Supplies), cast on 16 stitches. Knit 4 rows (garter stitch) and then work stocking stitch for a further 4 rows.
Supplies to Bring:

• Two double-pointed needles (or one circular) of sizes 4 to 5 mm/US 6 to 8.
• 20g solid-color, smooth worsted-weight yarn (or heavier), plus a couple of yards of a similar brightly contrasting yarn.
• Scissors and crochet hook and usual knitting paraphernalia.
