Is this Pocket Shawl Pattern Suitable for Beginners?

Gather These Materials Before You Start
For this project, you will need lightweight yarn such as Stylecraft Life DK. It’s a cozy blend of wool and acrylic that offers comfortable wear and a nice drape that enhances the shawl’s texture and appeal. You will also need two crochet hooks sizes to complete it – 6 mm for the body and 5.5 mm for the collar ribbing.
How to Crochet the Rustic Pocket Shawl
I have some really good news for beginners. This shawl has one of the simplest constructions ever! You will work its body with a one-row repeat in the shape of a rectangle. At this point, the construction method is no different from making a regular scarf.
Once you have your rectangle ready, you will fold over its edges to create the pockets and finish it off with a clean ribbed collar detailing on both vertical sides.
The shawl can be adapted to any size by adding more chains or increasing the number of rows.
