With the fall season kicking in, it’s time to bring back layered outfits. Make this crochet shawl with pockets designed by Carrie M Chambers and style it with anything you want. Gorgeously textured and outfitted with two roomy pockets, it’s a cozy accessory ready to catch everyone’s attention!
Stylish Wrap You’ll Actually Wear
This beautiful crochet pocket shawl will look great when thrown over an elegant tunic paired with leggings or a casual t-shirt and jeans. Keep it in a deep brown shade inspired by the fall color palette that gives it a cozy look. The wrap also has a cute tassel fringe and beautiful neckline ribbing, so it looks like a store-bought one.
Can a Crochet Beginner Make This Shawl?
The Shawl With Pockets crochet pattern is best for intermediates. It will suit crocheters who feel comfortable with doing post stitches. They create bold textural lines and are a standout feature of this design. If you’d like to practice a more advanced technique than simple single crochets and add a trendy accessory to your collection, this pattern is for you.
Things You’ll Need to Get Started
To complete this shawl, you should collect a few basic supplies. The pattern calls for medium-weight yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook. You can use So Crafty Aran 80/20, but any other acrylic yarn will be a great substitute. The only thing you should stick to is the medium weight. Otherwise, you will get a differently sized shawl.
Building the Shawl – Step-by-Step Overview
You work it lengthwise, which means that the foundation chain will be the length of your scarf. This allows for an easy adjustment to any size. To make it longer, just extend the initial chain. To make it wider, add additional rows. It’s really that simple!
The shawl is built as a long rectangle that suits your wingspan, and the pockets are sewn towards the bottom. For a nice, polished look, you can add a fun tassel fringe on either end.
