Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Pocket Shawl
Get ready to snuggle up in cozy, handmade comfort with the Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Pocket Shawl—a beautifully textured crochet wrap with pockets perfect for warm layers and everyday wear.
The shawl is worked flat in rows, lengthwise, meaning your starting chain determines the finished length right from the start. My signature Wheat Stitch™ builds the body of the shawl, creating rich texture with lovely drape—perfect for curling up at home, running errands, or adding a handmade layer to your outfit.
Once the shawl body is complete, it's blocked to allow the stitches to relax and settle beautifully. The matching pockets are crocheted separately using the same Wheat Stitch™ repeat, ensuring a cohesive look. After blocking, the pockets are positioned at each end of the shawl and sewn along the sides and bottom—leaving the top edge open for cozy, functional pockets you'll actually use.
Whether you're stitching for yourself or gifting handmade warmth, this Wheat Stitch™ Pocket Shawl is one of those patterns you'll reach for again and again.
