Cochinelle Pocket Shawl
"With a simple yet striking combination of granny spike stitch and double crochet, this beginner-friendly shawl alternates between texture and smooth rows, creating a lovely visual effect. The rectangular shape is easy to work up and the pockets are cleverly integrated, crocheted directly onto the shawl using the posts of the double crochet stitches. Once the pockets are worked in rows and seamed at the sides, you’ll have a cozy, functional shawl that’s as practical as it is beautiful. This is the perfect project for using up your yarn stash to crochet something practical. /DETAILS Skill level : Beginner-friendly / Easy (no increases or decreases, basic crochet stitches) US Terminology /MATERIALS Aran/Worsted #5 weight yarn; 1578yds 4mm / G-6 Crochet Hook 3mm Crochet Hook (pockets) Tape Measure Stitch Markers Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE measures approximately 18in Width X 63.5in Length.
