Another option maybe to replace the cabling on the pockets with the same rib pattern that you'll use at the base of the jacket and the button edgings, this would give the pocket a bit more 'stretch'. As everyone else is suggesting check the tension but you may not mind if the pockets end up slightly smaller or bigger. Good luck. Are you able to post a photo when finished, would be great to see the finished jacket.
