This beginner pattern is a great way to get yourself hands free! Knit with thick yarn and large needles, the pocket is knit in one piece and seamed. The strap is created and attached to make a handy place for a bottle of water, phone, or other small thing you need to have along.

The pattern does not specify a cast on or bind off technique however, using long tail cast on and k2togtbl bind off will give a little extra strength to the strap.

• Don’t have the suggested yarn on hand? Grab three strands of worsted yarn and get knitting.
• Can’t find your US 15 needles? Dig out a smaller needle and cast on 1-2 more stitches, the pattern is very easy to modify.
