This video shows you how to insert a pocket back and how to sew the pocket back down to complete the pocket construction. This is relevant for the Destination Pullover designed by Mary Jane Mucklestone, in Modern Daily Knitting's Field Guide No. 17 Lopi, but you could equally use this method to add a pocket to any garment project.

You can buy Field Guide No. 17 Lopi directly from Modern Daily Knitting: moderndailyknitting.com/shop/mdk-field-guide-no-17-lopi
