String or Nothing is a worsted weight, seamless raglan pullover with a choose-your-own-pocket-adventure. The pattern includes four different designs for the patch pockets: stripes, mosaic colorwork, cables or plain. You can make two alike or mix and match to your heart’s content!

The sweater is cast on at the top and worked flat while the neckline is shaped. After the neck shaping is complete the sweater is worked in the round to the hem. The sleeve stitches are set aside and worked in the round from the shoulder to the cuff after the body is completed.

The pockets are worked flat and sewn onto the sweater at the end.

(String or nothing is both Gollum’s final guess for what Bilbo has in his pockets in The Hobbit, and also represents knitter’s magic: we make things out of string and nothing!)
