Crochet Pocket Shawl in Mustard

I am really happy about this pocket shawl in mustard. It was a lot of fun designing it and I could not wait to see the final result. I was inspired by my previous Sandy Shore crochet pocket shawl pattern. Sandy Shore is a pocket shawl featured in a picture above in linen color.

To crochet the pocket shawl in mustard I was using medium, weight 4 yarn and I 9 / 5.5 mm crochet hook. You can get a printable adds free written pattern for this crochet pocket shawl in mustard here. The printable pdf written pattern also includes a lot of pictures.

The finished crochet pocket shawl in mustard is 61 inches long, not including fringe, and 17 inches wide.

Again, to crochet the pocket shawl in mustard I am using medium, weight 4, Big Twist, soft acrylic yarn but you can use any medium, weight 4 yarn. I used approximately 1,100 yards of the Big Twist yarn.

This pattern is written in American Standard Terms. The crochet pocket shawl in mustard pattern is multiples of 2 and I start with 200 chains but if you prefer to make a longer shawl, add more chains using multiples of 2. In this pattern starting with the Row 2 through Row 6 you should crochet the half double crochet stitches into a back loop. Also, in this pattern count a crossed over double crochet stitch as 2 double crochet stitches and count the chain of 2 as a double crochet stitch.

When crocheting this pocket shawl in mustard it is important to work xdcfp and xdc as instructed to get the desired pattern
