Skill Level & Techniques Involved
If you’re an experienced crocheter seeking a new challenge, this crochet pocket shawl pattern offers an exciting opportunity to create a fashionable accessory. It combines several techniques, including single crochets, post stitches, and treble crochets, to achieve its intriguing linear textures.
You will work this shawl in two pieces with a center back seam, ensuring that the design stays beautifully balanced for a professional look. The pocket linings are seamlessly sewn into the main body on the wrong side, providing a clean and polished finish.
Materials You’ll Need to Get Started Right
To give this crochet pocket shawl a soft, luxurious feel, go for aran weight yarn with 100% acrylic fiber content or wool blend. The sample seen in the photo features a warm fabric with a beautiful drape made with Caron Simply Soft Tweeds. If you don’t have access to this yarn, you can choose any other medium-weight fibers that you want.
With a suggested 5 mm crochet hook, you will create a shawl measuring 24″ [61 cm] wide by 62″ [157.5 cm] long.
Can I Crochet This Shawl Without a Gauge Swatch?
Yes, you can. Crochet shawl patterns are more forgiving than most garment projects. However, if you want your wrap to be perfectly sized and comfortable to wear, you should do a gauge check first, especially if you’re using yarn in a different weight.
