Class Details:
Pockets are found in most garments but rarely in sweaters. Why not add a pocket or two to your knitted garments? In class, we will explore a variety of pocket shapes, styles, how to add them to finished garments, and how to add them while you are knitting your garment.
Snip-and-ravel afterthought pockets, added-stitch contiguous pockets, and integrated afterthought pockets are some of the methods you will learn to add pockets of any size, shape, or style.
Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off
Homework:
Using worsted-weight yarn, make a stockinette swatch 24 stitches wide and 8 inches long.
Supplies for Class:
Smooth, light-colored worsted-weight yarn. Fingering- or sock-weight yarn in a highly contrasting color to your main yarn. 1 set of dpns size 6 (size 6 circular needles is OK). 1 set of dpns size 3. Tapestry needle or yarn needle. 1 crochet hook size F or G. Scissors.
