The Side to Side Shawl crochet project by Erini Wasef features a gorgeous waffle stitch texture and will style beautifully with your outfits! Made of medium-weight yarn, it will provide the right amount of warmth during the spring or fall season. Make sure to add it to your project list!
Why Make This Crochet Pocket Shawl?
This crochet shawl is perfect for layering, with both casual and elegant styling. The pockets on each side make it a practical clothing accessory every woman deserves to have in her wardrobe. Moreover, you can drape it over your shoulders or wrap it around your neck like a scarf, depending on what you need. How versatile is that!
What Is the Skill Level of This Pattern?
If you feel comfortable with working post stitches, the Side to Side Shawl crochet pattern won’t be difficult for you. I would recommend it to intermediate crocheters, but ambitious beginners can always give it a try, too.
It’s also a perfect way to learn the waffle stitch, which combines basic double crochets with front post double crochets. This crochet wrap is worked width-wise, so you can very easily adjust its size by adding more length to the initial chain.
Yarn and Hook Details for a Flowy Finish
The Side to Side Shaw pattern calls for an 8 mm crochet hook and Bernat Premium, but you can also go for any other yarn that you have in your stash. Just make sure it has an aran or worsted weight. If you want your handmade pocket shawl to have a soft, cozy feel, choose yarn with 100% acrylic fiber content or acrylic blends.
As for the colorway, you can use whatever your heart desires. The photographed sample features a super versatile grey shade that goes with everything, but how about trying out some vibrant hues for that perfect bold effect?
