Striped Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern

December 17, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This pocket shawl crochet pattern is worked up in a striped design, which you can modify to any striped design that you like. I like the zebra stripes, but any cheerful and neutral color design will work.

The stitches are plain and simple, which makes this the perfect crochet shawl or scarf for both men and women! And you can easily adjust both the width and length, making it great for the entire family.

Wear this in the cooler weather over a long-sleeves shirt or sweater. And if you live in extreme temps, you can wear it indoors as you cozy up by the fireplace. It’s also great for indoor malls as you do your holiday shopping!

How Do You Crochet a Simple Pocket Shawl?

For this pattern, I chose two contrasting colors with the single crochet stitch throughout the pattern. It is perfect for beginners who are comfortable making color changes.

The color sequence is worked one row with the first color, then two rows with the second color. This gives you a unique color design, as the first color really stands out with one row facing the right side and the next the wrong side.

I started off with the white as my first color, referred to as Color A, and made my chains to the width that I wanted, minus 1 inch. Then working into the 2nd chain from the hook, single crochet across the foundation chains.

Make your chains and single crochet across the chains.

At the end of row 1, change to the next color, referred to as Color B.

Change to the second color after the first row.

Work Color B for 2 rows and then change back to Color A.

At the fourth row, change back to the first color.

When you get to the 5th row, join the 2nd ball of Color B so that you always have your yarn handy for the next color change. (You can go out and buy two balls, but I divided one big ball into two smaller balls. It took a bit of time, but it saved me a few bucks.)

At the fifth row, attach the second ball of the second color so that you don't have to fasten off.

Continue in that pattern until you have the length that you need. Then switch to a smaller hook and work a single crochet edge evenly around.

The pattern for the pockets is the same as above, except they are narrower than the scarf. I attached mine about 1.25 inches from the bottom, but you can adjust that as you like.

What Size Should a Pocket Shawl Be?

The free pattern for this crochet shawl measures 13 inches wide by 68 inches long. It is shown on a medium sized mannequin.

To make this a custom fit, simply adjust the width anywhere between 12-20 inches. If you want a pocket scarf, go with 8-10 inches wide.

To determine the length that you need, stretch your arms out to your sides and measure from fingertip to fingertip. That usually works for both shawls and scarves.

Recommended Yarn

I chose Lion Brand Pound of Love. It is a medium #4 worsted weight yarn that works well with a 6 mm crochet hook. It is acrylic to help provide extra coziness during the cold winter months.

I like the yarn not only because it is super soft, but also because it is available in big balls, which makes it cheaper to buy!
