Bring Back Spring Pocket Shawl
What I love about pocket shawls, that they are useful all year round. Especially if you pick a spring pattern, like this one. The Bring Back Spring pattern is made of 5 identical double crochet triangles that are joined together with a unique mesh join. I’m sure it will be a fun project for you to make, especially that there are no sewing, which we all hate!

FAQ
What yarn to choose for crochet pocket shawl?
It depends on what kind of shawl you’re going to make, because you can go for thick and warm winter one, or a lightweight and flowy boho shawl. If you want it to be heavier, go for wools or acrylics. When in need of a drapey one, choose lightweight wools, silk blends, or even cotton.
Which pocket shawl crochet 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 of the pocket shawl patterns are easy enough for beginners. If you’re looking for a quick project, choose the ones with as little details as possible.
Why are pocket shawls better than regular 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. It’s a game changer!

I made the shawl by Carrie Chambers and it turned out beautifully. Looking forward to trying the other patterns posted here.
love this !!1
The Watson Waffle and socks are my favorite. They are all very pretty though.
I can see now where my yarn stash is going. I have two daughters, a daughter-inlaw, and four granddaughters. Oh wait I left myself out, I have at least eight to make.
Reply to my comment: I forgot to say what I was making…
It will be many of the pocket shawls.
Oh my I don’t know where to start. All so pretty. Thank you for being so kind and sharing free patterns.
The shawls look so cozy.
I know this random, but I want to make one of these for a lady and she tells she’ll need an xl because she has bigger chest. Will I need to adjust the shawl sizes for something that? I wouldn’t think so, but want to make sure it fits right.
