Mandatory for them use hypoallergenic yarn, soft fiber and attractive colors. Knitted with knitting needles, they may be required not only for knitted items.Many denim shorts and other items are already decorated with knitted openwork elements, translucent and light, they look simply amazing.
Selecting the number of knitting needles for the yarn
It is important to select the correct tool number for the yarn. Many the craftsmen are already automatically selecting special numbers for their favorite balls. But it’s more difficult for beginners, since a thread that is too thin can spoil the thread during the knitting process. But too thick makes the canvas uneven.
Set of loops for 2 knitting needles
Advice! A hint from the yarn manufacturer is present on each skein. The weight of the skein and its length are indicated there. And also the number of the hook and knitting needles, which are ideal for such a ball.
Types of patch pockets
There are actually so many types of these elements, since you can knit any figure and make an original element out of it. They may just be square. In the shape of rectangle and trapezoid, rectangular trapezoid (double-sided). It is very important to master each of the figures adding loops and decreasing them.

For work use:
- yarn of two colors;
- knitting needles according to the thickness of the yarn;
- two buttons for decoration.
Measurements
Measure the necessary parameters for the future product - length and height.
Sample
Using a two-color pattern, make a small square with knitting needles and calculate the knitting density for it. Later, determine the number of loops for the first set and how many rows are needed to complete the pocket. Also take into account that the elastic pocket has a slight bend.
Two-color pattern
Execute two-color version using two threads. It will be very convenient to knit it, since a thread of the same color goes through two rows at once, and at the moment of returning to the front side, another thread appears on this side, and there will be no unnecessary broaches on the wrong side.

Canvas
Start knitting according to the measurements of the bottom. Knit to the middle line and start making shortened rows.To do this, knit rows and do not use the last two loops. After knit the leaves of their pattern along the entire line. It remains to complete 4 rows with an elastic band. There you go.

- 2 buttons.
Pocket size

Sample
With help honeycomb pattern, knit a small fabric, and calculate the knitting density for it. Then compare the measurements and count the loops for the product.
Honeycomb pattern
Cast on the correct number of stitches, combine honeycomb and braid patterns. Knit half the item lengthwise. Next, change the pattern to an elastic band, and complete the second half with elastic hem 1*1 knitting needles
