FAQ
What yarn to choose for a crochet pocket shawl?
It depends on what kind of shawl you’re going to make – types of yarn have various qualities. You can go for thick and warm winter yarn, or a lightweight and flowy yarn for a boho shawl. If you want it to be heavier, go for wool or acrylic yarn. When in need of a drapey one, choose lightweight wools, silk blends, or even cotton yarn.
If you’re wondering how many skeins of yarn you need for your perfect pocket shawl, take a look inside your crochet patterns’ notes. All free crochet patterns should tell you how much and what type of materials you need – for example, what size of crochet hook to use for a stitch pattern.
Which pocket shawl pattern will be the best for beginners?
The easiest way to add pockets to the shawl is to just fold the ends of it upwards and sew it in place, so that’s definitely a way to go! Truthfully, however, most pocket shawl crochet patterns are easy enough for beginners. If you’re looking for a quick project, choose the ones with as few details as possible and basic crochet stitches.
Why are pocket shawls better than regular rectangular shawls or triangle shawls?
Well, because… they have pockets 😉 But seriously, this little detail makes them much more fun to wear. You can put your hands inside when you are cold, or keep necessities inside when going for a quick walk.
