The Hip Granny Pocket Shawl crochet design by Dayna Perry is perfect for anyone who loves clothes with a traditional flair. The pockets are composed of two granny squares, and each end of the wrap embellishes a lovely tassel fringe. Throw it over your shoulders whenever you start to feel cold and see how warm it is!
Yarn Choices and Color Tips
Dayna’s pocket shawl is made with acrylic aran-weight yarn that gives it a cozy feel, very soft to the touch. The sample seen in the photos features three different yarn brands: Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn! Solids, and Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek Solids.
The combination of two similar colors with a contrasting yellow shade creates a delicate visual effect. But don’t treat it as the only right colorway, and don’t be afraid to play around with your own mix of colors.
How to Crochet the Hip Granny Pocket Shawl
The Hip Granny Pocket Shawl crochet pattern will suit anyone who is familiar with basic stitches. You make this wrap by crocheting a long rectangle with single crochets, double crochets, and half double crochets.
Then you need to work two granny squares and sew them to the shawl’s body to form the pockets. The squares feature textural puff stitch gussets for added visual interest.
Is the Fringe Required?
Not at all. Feel free to modify this design to suit your taste. The adorable tassels on both ends add a cheerful boho flair to the shawl, but you can keep it simple without the fringe if you prefer.
Sizing, Dimensions & Adjustments
The shawl is 11″ wide by 61″ long when made with the same tools and materials. However, the designer provides instructions to help you customize the length and width of your wrap so you can get the perfect fit!
