Your choice of six fun pockets (plus three additional choices using the reverse sides), a flattering boxy shape, unique i-cord knot at the neckline, and a split hem make Pickpocket the perfect sweater for fall and winter. Fun to make, fun to wear!

CONSTRUCTION
Pickpocket is knit top down, starting at the shoulders with the contrasting stripes. The back is knit first to the underarms. The fronts are knit and joined, worked to the underarms, then joined to the back for knitting in the round until the sides are split for the hem. The pockets are knit and then joined to the front prior to working the bottom ribbing. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round from the top down.
