KNITTER'S TOOL BAG - 50774D

Odds & Ends Pocket (rewritten a bit)
The Odds & Ends pocket is similar to a sweatshirt-type pocket, except with straight, not sloping, sides. You’ll notice that their construction is very similar to the Pattern Pocket – but in another direction! The Odds and Ends pocket is worked like a ‘planned’ pocket, and the Notions pocket that will go above it is knit later as an afterthought pocket.
Next RS row: Knit across the first 19 sts of the row, place the remaining 18 sts on the first holder or scrap yarn, and turn the work. The 19 sts on the needles will be worked first, and the remaining sts on hold will be worked as a second portion to create a slit for the pocket opening.
Row 1 (WS): K3, P16.
Row 2: Knit.
Repeat these two rows 9 times total, then work row 1 once more: the flap is 20 rows long.
Place these 19 sts on a second holder or scrap yarn. Do not break yarn but set it aside.

Place the 18 sts from the first stitch holder or scrap yarn on your left needle. With a different ball of yarn, CO 2 sts onto the right-hand needle, then knit across the 18 sts on the left needle to join. There are now 20 sts. Work until the second portion is 20 rows long, ending after a wrong side row. Break yarn.

Place the 19 sts from the second stitch holder or scrap yarn back on the needles and resume using the attached ball of yarn. Knit across the first 17 sts. Work the next two stitches together with the first two stitches of the second portion – just the same way as you attached the Pattern Pocket flap to the body. Knit across the next 18 sts as usual. 37 sts.
Continue in St st for 10¼” (about 55 rows), ending after a WS row.
