Many people try to knit in the round, but don't have any circular or double pointed needles. This article will show you how to knit a small pocket in the round (just note that this technique has a joined bottom).

Steps

  1. 1
    Cast on. A good number to start with is 10 or 12, but whatever you choose, the number must be even.
  2. 2
    Knit one stitch.
  3. 3
    Bring the yarn to the front, as if you were going to purl.
  4. 4
    Stick the needle into the front of the stitch, then just slide it onto your needle.
  5. 5
    Repeat for all rows.
  6. 6
    Get a spare needle.
  7. 7
    Get all odd stitches onto the needle (knitted ones). Keep all even stitches (slid) on the needle on the one having all the stitches.
  8. 8
    Bind off each needle separately unless the pocket fits your head (see below).
    • Slide the tail through both stitches left, then (for a closable pull string pocket).
    • Slide the tail through all stitches left (don't bind off), then tie knot.

Tips

  • Persevere; this trick is a little hard.

Things You'll Need

  • 2 knitting needles
  • Yarn
