What Level of Crochet Experience Is Needed for This Pattern?

The Penelope Pocket Shawl crochet pattern is great for both beginners and intermediates. For newbies, it’s a perfect opporunity to practice post stitches. Those with some experience, on the other hand, will find it a fun project to complete before the fall season sets in.

Prepare to work this shawl as a long rectangle using single crochets, double crochets, and front post stitches. This combination creates a densely stitched fabric with a waffle-like texture that gives an outstanding look.

What’s the Best Yarn for This Pocket Shawl?

For best results, make sure to use medium-weight yarn combined with a 6 mm crochet hook. If you want to keep the minimalist modern look, choose a neutral shade such as white, grey, beige, brown, or everything that’s in between.

The photographed shawl was made with Lion Brand Wool Ease Solids, Heathers, Twists. It offers the warmth of wool and the softness of acrylics – a perfect match for making a cozy scarf!

How Do I Resize the Penelope Pocket Shawl?

This crochet shawl pattern comes in one size, but if you want, you can adjust it to your needs. Since the wrap is worked lengthwise, you need to increase the stitch count in the starting chain to make it longer or add more rows to make it wider. For a comfortable fit, the shawl should be no shorter than your arm span.
