Knit-in No-Sew Pockets

Lily Chin

Thursday PM

Women never have enough pockets if any at all. Furthermore, most knitters avoid seaming like the plague. Learn this innovative and revolutionary way of applying inset pockets to any garment or accessory as it is being worked. Work up a miniature sample in class. Plan placements perfectly beforehand. Never lose a cell phone or scrounge around for lipstick or a tissue ever again.

Join a pocket to a piece as you work in a technique similar to double-knitting without having to double-knit. See where to put the pockets successfully.
