Okay, let's admit right away that it's not entirely clear what to call this thing: is it a wide scarf with pockets, a thick shawl with pockets? In general, this is a scarf that always has room for a smartphone.
Whatever you call it, I like it a lot. It's very soft, comfortable to wear on your shoulders, and has pockets. And it’s also worth saying that not many people like complex projects, so this thing is very easy to make.
A knitted scarf with pockets rests on your shoulders like a shawl, but looks like a cardigan from the front. It's soft and cozy, perfect for cool days or when someone turns the air conditioning colder than you'd like.
Loop yarn is very soft, but it is thicker than many other yarns, so if you make several rows of it, you will find that it has a more “puffy” appearance.
Description of the pattern
The basic idea of this pattern is that you make a knitted rectangle that wraps around the body, ending at the fingertips with a hand pocket.Of course, there are hundreds of different patterns of crocheted shawls. There are triangular shawls, circle shawls, semicircle shawls and so on.
Knitting process
Measure yourself from one fingertip to the other, across your entire back. Add approximately 12 cm to this measurement.
Next, proceed according to the scheme:
- Tie a chain with a length equal to the length of your measurements.
- Turn the workpiece and work your favorite warp stitch into each chain. For example, work a row in single or semi-double crochet.
- Continue adding rows of these stitches until you have a rectangle that stretches from hand to hand and grows to the desired width of your knitted shawl. The approximate length of such a scarf will be about 2 meters.
- Fold one side of the rectangle up about four cm. Sew it on both sides, creating a pocket at the end of that side of the rectangle.
- Repeat on the other side.
That's all. A crocheted rectangle with folded pockets on both ends is ready. You can change the size and seams in countless ways. Vary the yarn, change the size of the pockets, or add them where you feel more comfortable.
Adviсe
Remember, by strategically spacing and working only in the back loop, you will get a variety of texture and design.
Of course, there are countless variations on the theme of crocheting pocket shawls. Everyone brings their own twist to this pattern. For example, you can sew the pockets onto the shawl instead of using the folding technique described above. These pockets can be made with the same stitch and the same yarn or a different stitch or color. You can also reshape the shawl and sew on pockets to suit the design.Pockets may have buttons or fasteners.
Crochet pocket shawls (and their crocheted cousins) have taken the craft world by storm. Although crochet shawls and pocket scarves have been around for many years and even decades, they have become really trendy recently. Perhaps this is due to the fact that we all now want to be a little more cozy. A shawl is, of course, cozy. But a shawl that lets you stick your hands in your pockets is even cozier.
