A beautiful crochet pocket shawl with gorgeous texture and bright pops of color is the perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe!

A crochet pocket shawl showcasing intricate textured stitch details, vibrant colors, and finished with fun boho-inspired fringe providing a touch of elegance. The pockets, which are a practical and cozy feature, provide additional warmth and function.

A practical and decorative crochet pocket shawl, with its bright, cheerful colors and detailed patterns making it a standout accessory.

This crochet pocket shawl features 3 different unique stitches worked in a repetitive stitch pattern. Once you master these stitches it will be smooth sailing for the rest of your pocket scarf. Make your own textured scarf in your favorite three colors, or it would look fantastic in a solid color as well!

How to Make the Marjorie Crochet Pocket Shawl

For the full written pattern instructions for the Marjorie Pocket Shawl pattern, scroll down below. I have the ad-free PDF available for this beautiful pocket shawl in my shop. Or, become a Lifetime Member and never pay for a PDF again!

This beautifully textured pocket shawl features three unique and textured stitches – the Diamond Waffle Stitch,  Interlocking Arches Stitch and the Popcorn Stitch worked in 2 colors which will show you my preferred method for using 2 different colors for this stitch. Remember to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you never miss a new video.

The Interlocking Arches Stitch is one of my personal favorites and I also use it in one of my most popular designs – the Mosaic Medley Potholder made from a center-out square!

• 1. Start the main body of the scarf with a long chain. The finished size of scarf with provided chain and gauge is approximately 64″ long. To adjust the length of the scarf, adjust foundation chain in multiples of 4.
• 2. The individual stitches used for this crochet pocket shawl are single crochet, double crochet, front post treble crochet, front post treble 2 together and the popcorn stitch. The front post stitches are used to create the textured diamond shape. My photo and video tutorial will help you each step of the way if you have never worked this stitch before. It may become your new favorite!
• 3. I recommend switching up from a traditional ch-3 turning chain to the chainless starting dc stitch or the stacked sc stitch (my new favorite!) – beginner friendly and a great way to eliminate that “gap” at the beginning of a row!

• 4. Once you have worked through the main body of the scarf you will make 2 identical pockets matching up the stitch pattern in the main body.

• 5. Sew the pockets to each bottom edge of scarf – matching up the rows of stitches on the scarf.

• 6. Optional – add fringe to the bottom edges of the scarf

All done! This pocket shawl makes for a fun and interesting crochet project. Just enough variety to keep you interested but with enough repeating to make for evenings of relaxing crochet!

I hope you enjoy making your Marjorie Pocket Shawl – I would love to see the colors you choose for yours!

I originally used Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Premium* for this scarf as I just love the stitch definition and it really is soft and cozy! Since the Basic Stitch Premium has been discontinued, I would recommend Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling for a substitute. Frankly, I can’t really tell a difference between the two so perhaps that is why the premium went away. The colors I would recommend if you want to duplicate this look would be Ivory, Red Heather and Mustard color ways. This color combo looks so rich and luxurious!

If you are looking for another potential color combination or think this stitch combination would make a fantastic blanket (it does!), check out my Marjorie Blanket which is also a free crochet pattern on the blog! I also had a bit of yarn left over from my pocket scarf and worked up a hat using the same stitches – the Marjorie Hat is a stunner!

If you are using a yarn substitute for your shawl, this yarn is listed as a #4 medium worsted weight yarn. However, I feel it works up midway between a #3 light & a #4 medium. So you may have some variation in size with that change. You could certainly check gauge and change up hook sizes to get closer to my gauge if you want the same size shawl.

There are so many different color variations to choose from and I can’t wait to see what you all have chosen for your shawls!

This pattern is also available as an ad-free, printable PDF! You can purchase the individual pattern, or if you love PDFs, you might want to check out my Lifetime Membership. It’s an awesome deal! Never pay for one of my PDFs again!! (Or, scroll down for the free version!)

Pattern Notes:

• Ch 3 at beginning of each row does count as a stitch.
• To resize, adjust foundation chain in multiples of 4.
• I used a Chainless Starting Double Crochet Stitch in place of the beginning chain 3 of row. My new favorite stitch for a ch-3 replacement is the stacked sc stitch – so easy!
• Stitch count remains the same throughout unless otherwise indicated.
• Scarf is formed as one long rectangle and pockets are made separately and sewn to scarf.
