The pattern has 3 different gauge with 3 different yarns and 3 different needles.

Needles: US 2,5 / 3mm (US 4 / 3,5mm) US 8 / 5mm. You also need a third needle for the 3 needle bind off.
Hook size: E / 3,5mm

Gauge: 26 (22) 18 stitches x 32 (30) 24 rows / rounds = 4’’ x 4’’ / 10 x 10 cm.
Yarn usage: 21 (24) 30 gram for each pocket, totalt 42 (48) 60 gram.

Increases, suggestion in pattern: (You decide which increasing method you prefer to use)

• yarn over, which is worked twisted the next row / round.
• or increase 2 stitches like this: without taking stitches off left needle, knit in front/back/front leg, -or back/front/back leg. Move stitches to right needle.

You need: 7 markers, grafting needle.

Abbreviations: RS = right side, WR S: wrong side, p = purl, k = knit, rnd = round, pl m = place marker, sl m = slip marker, inc = increase, dec = decrease, st(s) = stitch(es), YO = yarn over

Important construction tip:
-Take into consideration the width and depth of the pockets. The fronts on garment needs to cover the pockets. Adapt these measurements to your own garment by increase less or more stitches and / or shorten or adding the lower part of pockets by work fewer or more rows / rounds.
-Make sure to place markers before and after the pocket to keep track.
-Also decide the placement of the pockets. Count stitches from sides so they are placed balanced, see photos for measurement and placement.

Pocket nr 1 has an slightly angle inwards. I have calkulated the width of both pockets layed towards each other to get a measurement of how to place them. This is to avoid parts of pockets being placed on top of each other. See photos.

Pocket nr 2 worked in a garment down up, needs a seam along garment side afterwords to close the side of pocket.

Norsk:
Har du noen ganger tenkt slik som meg, «-jeg skulle hatt lommer i denne jakken eller strikka genseren?»

Jeg har tenkt det mange ganger og for ei tid tilbake designet jeg bukser for voksne og barn MED lommer. Kjempelurt å ha lommer i strikka klær, altså!
Derfor bestemte jeg meg for å lage en oppskrift slik at flere får mulighet til å strikke lommer i plaggene sine. Men så er det jo så mange forskjellig måter å strikke plagg på; i deler som sys sammen etterpå, nedenfra og opp, ovenfra og ned.

Jeg har laget oppskriften slik at du kan sette lommer inn i alle disse variantene! Og håper at jeg kan imøtekomme de fleste behov hva gjelder lommer, alt i en oppskrift:

Dette forklarer jeg fremgangsmåte på i oppskriften:

• lommer som strikkes for seg og som etterpå sys fast i sidene i et plagg som strikkes i deler,
• hvordan du strikker inn lommer i et plagg som strikkes nedenfra og opp,
• hvordan du strikker inn lommer i et plagg som strikkes ovenfra og ned. -hvordan du strikker lommer i et plagg strikket frem og tilbake.

Lommene er like både til høyre og venstre sider.

Oppskriften har strikkefasthet til 3 forskjellige garn tykkelser og strikkefasthet.

Jeg har brukt disse garntypene:
Kauni for pinne 3mm,
Sterk for pinne 3,5mm og
7 Brødre Novita Vàljeste for pinne 5mm.

Pinner: 3mm (3,5mm) 5mm, pluss en tredje pinne for felle av metoden.
Strikkefasthet: 26 (22) 18 pinner / omganger
32 (30) 24 pinner / omganger = 10 x 10 cm.

Garnforbruk: 21 ( 24) 30 gram til hver lomme, totalt 42 ( 48) 60 gram.

Du trenger:
7 maskemarkører, heklekrok 3.5 mm (valgfritt, du kan også sy i stedet for hekle sammen, synål, en tredje pinne for å lukke lommeposen.

Forkortelser:
RS = rett side, VR S = vrang side, vr = vrang maske, r = rett maske, omg = omgang, pl m = plasser markør, fl m = flytt markør
