Description
Pòcaid is Scots Gaelic for “pocket”. Pronounced “poh-cadge”.
Pòcaid is a little case with a flex-frame embedded in a casing to make it easy and quick to open and close. The colourwork outer shell is a great place to use up small amounts of yarn or experiment with colour-schemes. A knit lining completes your wee pocket and makes a snag-free environment for contents.
This almost two hour video (1:49:48 run time) takes you through every step of making Pòcaid.
The pattern file (PDF) is also included in this purchase. If you prefer to buy the written pattern only, you can do that here.
Every item you need and every step to take is covered on camera so you can see exactly how to make these cute little cases. This comprehensive tutorial sets you up for complete success and will give you skills you’ll find valuable in future.
This tutorial gives you alternatives methods for aspects of working the pattern – no one thing works for everyone so you’ll learn different ways of working so you can choose the method that works best for you.
