What is a pocket shawl?
It’s basically exactly what it sounds like. You make a shawl and then add pockets! And who doesn’t love pockets?! And an added bonus, some of these have hoods! Pocket shawls are great because they look like a cardigan from the front but require no shaping making most patterns easy and great patterns for beginners.
A pocket shawl can be the perfect accessory for most outfits in spring and fall, possibly even winter if you wear the right layers

Tri Pocket Shawl
Designer: A Purpose & A Stitch
About the Pattern: The name for this design came from the construction. The body of the shawl is made by making 3 triangles and seaming them into a large rectangle. I love the openness of the stitch pattern combined with the cables on the pockets. The designer considers this an intermediate level pattern but only because of the cabled pockets. If you’re not ready for cables but still want to tackle this pocket shawl, keep it simple with solid double crochet stitch pockets. Pattern is made with bulky yarn and works up quick!

Pine Gap Pocket Shawl
Designer: Stitching Together
About the Pattern: If you’re counting how many patterns are here (or if you’re reading along), you’ll notice this is number 16. The reason being is that this one is not an easy crochet pattern, however, it was too good not to share. That being said, this is an intermediate skill level pattern. The granny squares used are simple enough to make but the construction and border would be hard to follow for a beginner. If you’re an advanced beginner looking to broaden your crochet skills, this might be a good project to do so!
