Walk through all of the steps needed to create an afterthought pocket. This method is very commonly found in patterns from Andrea Mowry / Drea Renee Knits.

*Tools used to work the sample:*
- 3 lengths of waste yarn, each approx. 24" / 60 cm long (though length is not critical).
- Tapestry needle for placing lifelines and seaming

*To cast on a sample like I've worked in this video:*
Using sport weight yarn and a US 6 / 4 mm needles in a 24" / 60 cm length (or preferred needle length/type), cast on 30 stitches. Any method will do though I used the long tail method.

Knit 5 rows (this creates the bottom garter ridges, including the cast on edge)

Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: K3, p24, k3.

Rep [Rows 1 and 2] 7 more times (16 rows total of stockinette stitch)

Place Pocket Row (RS): K9, place lifeline thru next 12 sts, join waste yarn and knit across 12 sts, slip all 12 sts back to the right hand needle purlwise, knit across the same 12 sts again with working yarn, knit to the end of the row. When complete, thread the third piece of waste yarn through the 12 stitches on top of the pocket (or you can place them through the 12 sts before you knit to the end of the row).

Next Row (WS): K3, p24, k3.

Rep [Rows 1 and 2] 3 more times.

Knit 5 rows.

BO knitwise with WS facing.
