Pockets

9. Shape the pocket by bending the work where only the front loop was used. It will come a little by itself as the work will have a small "kink" there. Help it a little and shape it into a pocket.

10. Both pocket ends are made by picking up 9 stitches at the end: Start at the end of the work, pick up the 9 stitches and make double crochets in 7 rows. Turn with a chain stitch for each row.

11. finish by attaching to the pocket flap with chain stitches (down to the first "kink"). Finish and fasten off the end.

12. Turn the work and repeat step 10. The pocket is shaped and ready to use immediately.
