Creating Pockets

This video shows you how to insert a pocket back and how to sew the pocket back down to complete the pocket construction. This is relevant for the Destination Pullover designed by Mary Jane Mucklestone, in Modern Daily Knitting's Field Guide No. 17 Lopi, but you could equally use this method to add a pocket to any garment project.

I really like your videos. Very well explained, with a soothing voice. Very instructives and pleasant.

I love that the stitching is invisible on the front. Now I want pockets in all the sweaters I dream of knitting and surprise pocket backs (either a colorwork band near the opening or just a contrasting color). Thanks for providing such a clear tutorial.

I’m knitting my first cardigan with in-set pockets. I’ve watched several videos and read many instructions. This is by far the easiest to follow. Thank you!
