Because leisure knitting time is limited, I decided to work on my Beachrock first, then the Atwells. Both are very enjoyable and rewarding projects to work on! A treat.

First sleeve is started … knitting gives a glimpse of the promise to wearing this cuddly thing soon!

I decided against buttonholes … I think this cardi wants to be loosely wrapped. If I ever need it, I think a wide leather belt would make a perfect accessory.

Pockets:
Cast on 31 sts, work 42 rows in pattern, bind off on RS.

Attach pockets (about centered over the purple body stripe)
20 rows from the bottom, 22 stitches from the front edges, then just match up rows and stitches, which is really easy with this pattern.
