Pattern Features You’ll Love
This fabulous crocheted shawl features a dense, beautifully textured design and a neutral color palette that you will easily match with any of your outfits. Each corner of the wrap comes with adorable tassels, which will add a touch of playfulness to your style. The two deep pockets make it a super cozy and functional piece you can wear during the transitional seasons.
What Skill Level Is Required for This Wrap?
The Friendship Pocket Wrap crochet pattern is a great option for intermediates as it incorporates several special techniques. Prepare to work it back and forth in rows with star stitches, crossed double crochets, and single crochets in 3rd loop. The designer provides clear, easy-to-follow written pattern instructions, which you can download from Ravelry and print for convenience.
Materials and Yarn Information
To make this crochet pocket shawl, go for a DK weight yarn such as Berroco Vintage. It’s a soft blend of acrylic, wool, and polyamide. This yarn is easy to wash, durable, and warm to the touch – perfect for creating a cozy cold-weather accessory. If you would like to use different yarn, feel free to do it. Just make sure it has the same weight.
You will also need two crochet hook sizes: 5.5 mm and 6 mm. The large hook is required for the star stitch rows, while the smaller one is used throughout the rest of the project.
Can I Adjust the Length of the Shawl?
If you follow the pattern’s instructions and use recommended supplies, you will get a 60-inch-long and 20-inch-wide shawl. To make sure your wrap fits well, start with an even number of stitches. The length of your foundation row should reach from one hand to the other when your arms are stretched out.
