FINISHING
Using needle and contrasting thread, measure and mark placement of pockets on one sleeve and on front. These can be placed where desired. Sample has solid pocket centered and approx 3" from sleeve bottom. Front pockets are approx 1" from side seams and 3" from bottom edge. One row of sts on ea side is allowed to turn under for selvage.
Using needle and matching thread, tack pockets in place allowing top edges to roll naturally. Remove marking threads.
Using long tail ends, seam sides and sleeves. NOTE: Bottom of seams should be on knit side for 6-8 rows to be hidden.

Finish collar so it rolls naturally to front with a hidden seam. Weave in ends.
