“Pocket you, Kangaroo!” has the casual looks that make you fit in when hiking or attending games, but still gives you the gratifying comfort of a garment tailored exclusively to your unique body shape.Seamlessly constructed, this sweater has all the extra little details that provide welcome diversion during knitting and instantly show the adept viewer what an accomplished crafter you are. It has a beautiful cable panel with texture-filled argyle shapes on the front and optically slimming vertical lines on the back, a rounded neckline just deep enough to show off a pretty necklace or cleverly draped neckerchief, and snug-fitting ribbed cuffs that safely keep out wind and cold. The same ribbing is repeated at the shirt tail hemline. Best of all is the incorporated kangaroo pocket where you can keep your hands warm or carry small items.
