Finishing
Using yarn needle and light brown yarn to add “seams”: Weave in and out of each stitch or row end arnd the outside of the pockets. Weave in and out of each st arnd rnd 10. Weave in and out of each st of rnd 2 working under the line of front loops from working BLO. Weave in and out of rnds 10 to 2 working as close to a straight vertical line as you can.
Attach pockets, one on each side of the vertical “seam” line, leaving a one st space between the pocket and “seam” (or 3 sps between pockets). ** ALL “seams” must be added loosely. I did the “seams” on the coffee sleeve base while it was on the cup to make sure it didn’t pull. If they are too tight, the sleeve won’t stretch over the cup.
Hide all strings.
