Afterthought Pocket - Knitting Tutorial

[@shelives7]

Gosh Stephen, that’s the scariest thing I’ve seen in a while. I almost feel like I could do it though. You’re a great teacher.

[@stephanietheesfield7320]

What a great video!!! I’ve been researching pocket techniques so I can add pockets to the front of a little girl’s dress. This may be just the method! Thank you so much for making it. I love your personable instruction and well done videography. I can’t wait to check out more of your videos.

[@laceycook4935]

I loved your "we're going to cut our knitting" giggle! I recently cut a crocheted sweater for an after-thought neck line and everyone was screaming - DONT DO THAT IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE!!?!?! But it was fine, and I felt dangerous as I cut my project.

[@Citroen_2cv]

I'm gonna sneak a couple pockets into a big black H&M sweater I wear all the time BECAUSE WHY NOT

[@ds5436]

How did you know this is exactly what I needed? Are you a wizard? 🏃‍♀ off do to some sweater surgery!

[@ifxequalswhy]

Stephen, you are absolutely the Bob Ross of knitting!!! 🎨🖌🖼🌲🧶 Do I have plans to make an afterthought pocket? Nope. But did I watch this video anyway to listen to your delightful mix of calmness and excitement? Yes! Every time you say 'it's just knitting' I hear 'happy little trees'. ❤

[@mattsisoler6125]

You are such a good teacher. Thank you for everything you do to for us. Your tutorials are always so crystal clear. 😊❤

I've never done pockets, cardigans, cutting knitting, any of that before. I want to make my first cardigan with pockets though, and the directions made no sense. So I decided to watch some videos and figure out what I'm doing before I cast on for once. OMG. I'm using these pockets in my everything now! I kind of want to go back and do this to my other sweaters too! I will have to see how brave I am once I'm done with this one, and see how this goes. That looks amazing, thank you for the best pocket tutorial I've ever seen! (And yes, I've been marathoning pocket tutorials for at least 3 hours straight now. This one's the best. Trust me.)

[@StephenWest]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful.

[@mimiknitswithlove3273]

What a great technique! You really are such a wonderful, detailed instructor. Thank you so much for all you do for us!!🥰

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I really like the icord bind-off edge. Thanks for this complete tuto !

[@antoinettekellam6048]

Thank you for teaching me a new skill for my knitting

[@janemarriott3389]

You instill confidence! Super excellent!

[@kathyb2723]

Omg! I am knitting the “harvest cardigan “ and was looking for a way to add pockets. And your video appears. Just magical! Thank you so much for sharing! I will use this technique! Great instructions!!!

[@Susann_S.]

Hey stephen. Thank you very much, for that tutorial. Its look so easy,as you go. No fear anymore, to get pockets in my knitting. You are a great teacher. Thanks so much! Greetings from germany Susann

[@diamondringirl]

i enjoyed learning this today. thank you.

[@leiterfam]

Thank you for mentioning that you can correct a stitch mount as you go. This lefty learned to crochet long before learning to knit. All my purls are mounted "backwards" for the next row, but I just knit them in the way that they "untwist"!

[@GerdaBruintjies]

Thank you Stephen. This is so helpful

[@StephenWest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@manicspinner1959]

This is wonderful, Stephen! Thanks for making it so less scary! Same concept can be used for afterthought heels.

[@johannetessier2767]

Thank you so much! You are a genius👍

[@sherryewestbeaudoin8260]

Thanks for that creative idea! I can’t wait to try that.

[@heldagsstrikk]

Thank you! 👍😊

[@Problembeere]

This is easily the most nerve wrecking and at the same time the most satisfying video I’ve watched this week. I came here because I was looking for a totally different technique but now I want to knit a cardigan with afterthought pockets. 😜

[@janemarriott3389]

Swatch patches! Use one to experiment with!

[@juneknitsville9549]

Excellent tutorial!

[@irengabbana]

Котик ,как приятно тебя слышать , ничего не понимая ,но чувстуется как ты любишь дело , которым занимаешься ❤

[@Fuj109]

This is really great for making a pocket. If you do afterthought heels, this will be a piece of cake for making afterthought pockets.❤️

[@gardenvarietyfae]

You could probably do similar to a forethought heel too, and plan ahead for where you put it.

[@katibere1966]

Great video!! Thanks!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

An awesome video, Stephen. Thank you.

[@jenniemills5093]

Loved it!

[@susannedressler1477]

[@ptoste1]

[@sheilamccart7553]

This looks great, never seen it before

[@barbarabryan-wilson8629]

Thank you for such detailed easy instructions!❤❤

[@millieo.5325]

This is awesome. Thank you Stephen…💜

[@aniabobbio3039]

coucou, extraordinaire invention. Trop génial toujours plus que d'habitude. Je le redis vous êtes un artiste et un génie admirable. Pensées de coeur. ania

[@joanie9258]

Great clear and up close tutorial! I was curious if I could add after thought pockets on a cardigan I’m finishing and looky I can! Thanks for sharing this.

[@StephenWest]

That's wonderful! Good luck with it.

[@maecarpenter6735]

You make an almost inconceivable want into a doable and pleasing reality. Are you a wizard?

[@elenanemo713]

Стивен,прекрасный урок.Считаю,что так как вы показали изготовление кармана,это рационально.Ведь только в готовом изделии можно понять ,где размещать карман.И никакие вспомогательные нити ,проложенные заранее не помогут...Спасибо.Смотрела с удовольствием❤❤❤

[@topcat5248]

Last year I completed a top down steeked cardigan and looked endlessly for pockets! I so regret not having pockets & now can add some after thought pockets! Yay thank you Stephen 🥰

[@maureengreen4008]

Stephen, I liked the video before I actually saw the ‘how to’ side of things. Why? Because I love your voice - plain and simple but I did love this video as well after I started watching it😊 Thank you for sharing this technique…looking forward to watching more in the not too distant future…bye🙋🏻‍♀️

[@mildredwhite]

Is this a horizontal version of steeking? But everything is better with pockets.

[@adrianawilliams9633]

Thanks you for sharing this tutorial 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@adibashazi4219]

Surprisingly wonderful….😳😳😳 Could it be done with a pattern knitting, too….????

[@gosiaswiniarska3966]

Super sposób na kieszenie 😊

[@bluekitty3731]

I would knit up a sample square and practice on that before trying this on a full knitted project!

[@annh.8290]

Thank you

[@ruthyk7083]

I'm thinking the bind off as I make the sweater and cast on similar to (i think the turkish 2 needle cast on) one for toe up socks and leave one side with stitch saver for later. This was amazing! Thank you! I was just wondering if there was a way to do this!

[@PaulaGolding]

Going in on my painting honeycombs jacket. First have to drink an extra coffee for courage😂

[@jonellesandel1066]

I am thinking as you knit you could also mark and put scrap yarn in top and bottom first so you don’t lose them🎉

[@frenchdiva76]

Can i use the same technique for an afterthought cuff in a poncho?

[@socbramasole]

Fantástico

[@sarahrudd4995]

This is great. I wonder if there is a way to do an afterthought pocket that means you hands can enter from the side rather than the top of the pocket?

[@ТатьянаШикуля-с3с]

Можно сделать по боковому шву( это самое простое решение).. По полотну тоже можно.. Но сначала нужно закрепить петли, чтобы не распускались при разрезании по вертикали.. Потом разрез и вывязывание обвязки внешнего клапана кармана и затем мешковины кармана.. Если у вас имеется навык шитья, то вы выполните и вертикальный карман. Который не запланировали заранее

[@seijaalava9042]

could that help to knit at sametime the pocket edges to different yarn and later take the different yarn off carefully and pick the loups to needles

[@ТатьянаШикуля-с3с]

Так и делают, если заранее планируют карман... Но иногда необходимость кармана появляется потом... Тогда и помогает этот урок

[@robertacaruthers7568]

If only I was younger and courageous.

[@ТатьянаШикуля-с3с]

Обычно я заранее продумываю расположение карманов и провязываю контрастной нитью место расположения кармана... Но если бы этого заранее не сделала, то воспользовалась бы вашим замечательным уроком

[@kathrynb130]

I’ve done after thought heels on socks and it’s the same concept but why not pick up the stitches before cutting? This is madness 😅😅😅

[@SvetaParukovaVyazaniya1971]

👍🔥🙏❤️

[@floresfeliciano1212]

😢hello 🙏🙏

[@irengabbana]

Только смотрю , к сожалению ...

[@ТатьянаШикуля-с3с]

Всё понятно без перевода. Просто заранее не запланировали карман, иначе сделал бы вспомогательной нитью вход в карман заранее, а тут пришлось резать и распускать нить

[@willow9526]

Why don't save stitches while knitting? And then finish the pocket. You mustn' t cut !

[@ТатьянаШикуля-с3с]

Пожелали иметь карман уже после вязания всего ищделия😂

[@willow9526]
