[@JayneSmith1960-UK]

Oh my goodness! This has to be the best pattern ever for all levels of crocheters. I'm quite slow when crocheting but this pattern puts paid to that! I am whipping up a shawl so fast it's amazing. I'm going to use this for other projects I want to make for Christmas gifts. I should have all my gifts done in record time. I'm so pleased I found this video but I'm also going to use the written pattern, too. Thank you so much for providing this. I, for one, really appreciate it. 😊

[@JayneSmith1960-UK]

Oh and you're right when it comes to making mistakes. If I crochet one double crochet instead of two it doesn't matter. It doesn't show unless you look for it. Perfect for beginners.

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! I'm so happy you found this design and tutorial helpful. What a relief it must be to get your Christmas gifts done in record time! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[@Born_Again_Viking]

I've made this shawl for my sister-in-law and she absolutely loves it! Having to make one for my niece now. As for the yarn, it's really hit and miss. Some skeins are very soft while others are kinda hard. I suggest soaking in fabric softener and washing on gentle cycle.

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

I love it! So happy you like this pattern. And I finally discovered with this yarn, a regular machine wash/dry makes it super soft. I've gone on to use RH ombre several times now that I know it softens in the wash.

Yes. I love it. It definitely softens up after watching

[@jaceek2030]

Such beautiful shawls! I have so much Red Heart yarn, including ombre..but you're right, its a rough feeling yarn. I've never tried washing anything I've made from it, as I usually gift everything I make. However I'm making this shawl for me. I do plan to make 1 using some of my RH ombre, but I'm currently making it using Red Heart Gumdrop thread. Its much softer than the regular RH. My skin is sensitive due to Lupus, and I'm always looking for soft thread that doesn't cost a fortune. Thank you so very much for sharing your lovely patterns, you're talented and generous.

This is the first time for me to use this pipsqueak yarn and I’m loving it!! I have fallen in love with the corner to corner stitch. Your suggestion of turning the stitch on the packets was great.

Just made a second one in the gray ombré Red Heart for my mom. She requested it after she saw the purple one I made. It’s gorgeous. Also Sylvia, in case I haven’t told you before, what gave me the confidence to try making my first wearable was you telling me that if I made a mistake, to keep going, that’s it’s okay. Well, in the gray pocket shawl I just finished, I had 7 ‘mistakes’ not bad enough to re-do and do you know what?…I can’t even find them now that’s it’s done! For a Virgo, it was nice to have permission to not feel like it has to be perfect and then in the end, it looks pretty perfect after all! Thanks again. This is a fun and easy pattern.

So I actually did mine differently accidentally, but I did the length first with my foundation row to start instead of width, so you have the measurements if I did it backwards?

Yikes! Since I didn't work it backwards I don't have measurements for that. LOL. As designed it measures 63 inches long and 15 inches wide. Maybe the detail at the blog might help? crazycoolcrochet.com/crochet-pocket-shawl-for-beginners/

@@cheribashore7753 I'm so sorry I can't give you a more precise answer. The link to the blog has the instructions for larger sizes working the pattern as designed.

[@walkinthrough]

Hi mam it is so easy but starting width we have to take 15 inches right? I took 54 chains it is so small

If this size is too small (width) you can change the starting chain using the multiple given in the video.

Love this shawl!! Been looking through many tutorials you explain this so beautifully and so easily my question is I picked up bulky weight number five yarn what size hook should I use and should I continue with the multiples of 9+2 I do expect it to be a little larger thank you for your time and effort in making this wonderful tutorial

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

I"m so happy you like this and want to try it. Yes, the multiple remains the same. If you want the pocket shawl a little larger use a 5.5 mm hook. If you want it larger still, go with a 6 mm. Hope this helps!

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

[@evelyntobias8081]

I am a little confused on the first row. You said you did 54 stitches(multiple of 9) plus 2 (turning chain). It looks like you skip 1 chain after doing 2dc in next 2 stitches. I looked to see if someone mentioned this before asking but I see someone ask how many dc's are in the 1st row and you say 36 stitches. What happened to the other 18? It looks like you have an extra stitch all along that row which would not make the 1st row straight. Techically does it even out when you work the border? BTW I love how you worked the side border.

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

RIght from the beginning of the first row I explain that you are skipping a chain between the 2 dc's. At 3:54 I explain it again. The dc counts would not include the skipped ch's. I hope this helps.

[@evelyntobias8081]

@@CrazyCoolCrochet I understand you are skipping a chain. My confusion lies in that you end up with those extra chains not making your 1st row straight. Usually when we do for example 2 dc in a stitch, you skip one stitch make it even out. I know this pattern is different but don't we end up with the extra stitches when we not work into that ch 1? I guess I don't understand why are we even making that ch 1 if we don't have a stitch above to match it as far as stitch counts.

@@Born_Again_Viking That's awesome! I'm so glad you still found the tutorial helpful. As for reading instructions, reading patterns, it helps to learn the basic abbreviations. Then it's a matter of finding pattern writers that follow the "standards" and are not simply making up their own shorthand and expecting others to know what they are trying to say. I learned "back in the day", in the 70's, when there were only professional patterns available. It was all standardized and easy to follow.
