HOW TO MAKE POCKETS FOR GRANNY SQUARE VEST
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in her self-published newsletter, Gloria Pitzer’s Secret Recipes Newsletter (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; Nov.-Dec. 1987, p. 11).
Whether you use one pocket or two pockets on the Granny Square Vest, per directions… [see also https://therecipedetective.com/2024/05/06/light-spring-vest/]… You will make a 12-round Granny Square for each pocket.
With a blunt end darning or tapestry needle and a double-strand of yarn, you will sew the finished square in place on the outside of the vest, so that the square is placed directly over the lower square of the front panel.
But you will sew from the 3rd shell down, on the side nearest the side seam of the vest and from the 3rd shell of top to the side of the pocket nearest the open center front, then down the side and across the bottom (as illustrated in accompanying picture).
But then fold down the point of the pocket, as shown, sewing a button or making a tax ditch to hold that point down, and leaving an opening through which to slip your hand.
