How to Crochet a Pocket Shawl

Cro­chet­ing is an excel­lent craft that allows you to cre­ate beau­ti­ful and func­tion­al items. This tuto­r­i­al will guide you through cro­chet­ing a Pock­et Shawl using a free cro­chet pat­tern. Pock­et shawls have gained pop­u­lar­i­ty for their prac­ti­cal­i­ty and ver­sa­til­i­ty, mak­ing them a per­fect project for cro­cheters of all skill lev­els. This easy cro­chet shawl pat­tern uti­lizes basic cro­chet stitch­es like dou­ble cro­chet and sin­gle cro­chet, mak­ing it acces­si­ble even to begin­ners. Whether you’re an expe­ri­enced cro­cheter or just start­ing, this project is a great way to explore dif­fer­ent col­ors, yarn weights, and cro­chet hook sizes. Plus, we’ll pro­vide step-by-step instruc­tions and valu­able tips to help you cre­ate a beau­ti­ful shawl.
**Choos­ing Your Mate­ri­als**: The first step in cro­chet­ing your Pock­et Shawl is select­ing the right mate­ri­als. You can choose from var­i­ous yarns, includ­ing worsted weight, DK weight, or even cake yarn. Con­sid­er the sea­son, your per­son­al pref­er­ences, and the intend­ed pur­pose of your shawl when select­ing the yarn and hook size.**Basic Stitch­es**: To cre­ate this shawl, you’ll need to be famil­iar with basic cro­chet stitch­es such as dou­ble cro­chet and sin­gle cro­chet. These stitch­es form the foun­da­tion of your project and are easy to learn for begin­ners.
**Stitch Pat­tern**: Depend­ing on the design you pre­fer, the stitch pat­tern used in this pat­tern may include sim­ple stitch­es like the moss stitch or puff stitch. These stitch­es add tex­ture and inter­est to your shawl.
**Con­struc­tion Type**: This shawl is rec­tan­gu­lar, but cro­cheters can exper­i­ment with shapes such as tri­an­gu­lar or over­sized shawls. The con­struc­tion type is crit­i­cal to achiev­ing the desired look and func­tion­al­i­ty.

**Col­or Changes**: Exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent col­ors to cre­ate a beau­ti­ful, unique shawl. You can change col­ors at the begin­ning of a row or use a self-strip­ing yarn for an even more effort­less tran­si­tion

 Repeat**: Many shawl pat­terns involve a row repeat, sim­pli­fy­ing the cro­chet­ing process and allow­ing you to estab­lish a rhythm as you work.

The Cro­chet Pock­et Shawl is so cozy for the fall and win­ter months. I love how soft it feels when I wrap it around me and the pock­ets are so prac­ti­cal. I uploaded a video if you need more help.

In the pho­to I did chain of 220 and with a K hook. I think I may have gone too long, so if you want it to be short­er I would sug­gest chain of 200.
