The Finished Object: Pocket Shawl

One of the most exciting things about being a yarn geek is completing a finished object, and today, I am thrilled to show you my latest creation - a beautiful pocket shawl. This pocket shawl was requested by Pamela from Pamela's Adoring Crochet, and I am proud to say that I have successfully made it. So, let's dive into the details and see what makes this pocket shawl so special.

First and foremost, I must mention the pattern and tutorial created by Pamela. She has done an excellent job providing easy-to-follow instructions to make this pocket shawl.

Pamela also offers the pattern for sale on her website and Etsy shop. At just $1.99 for a PDF version, this pattern is a steal. For such a reasonable price, you can access the step-by-step instructions and recreate this beautiful pocket shawl for yourself. Trust me; you won't regret it.

Now, let's talk about the yarn choice and color. For this pocket shawl, I used Lion Brand Jeans Yarn in the colorway "Top Stitch." It took a little over three skeins of yarn to complete the project. The yarn's softness adds to the overall comfort and warmth of the shawl, making it perfect for chilly evenings.

As we examine the features of the pocket shawl, one cannot ignore the pockets themselves. They add both functionality and style to the shawl. Imagine having a cozy shawl to wrap yourself in while having conveniently placed pockets to keep your hands warm or store small items like your phone or keys. It's truly a practical accessory.

The stitch pattern chosen for this shawl enhances its overall appeal. The intricate stitches give it a unique texture that catches the eye. I often find myself admiring the shawl, repeatedly looking at the stitches and feeling an overwhelming sense of joy and pride in my creation.

Oh, and let's not forget about the fringe. The fringe adds an extra touch of elegance, completing the shawl's overall look. It sways gently as you move, giving the shawl a whimsical feel.

I must take a moment to introduce you to my feline companion, Rick. He has been kind enough to join me during this video, allowing me to show you the shawl while he relaxes in my arms. Isn't he adorable?
