Down-Home Pocket Shawl

Posted: April 15, 2021 by Tonja Pe Benito

Spring is in the air and I’m elated to introduce to you my newest knitting pattern, the Down-Home Pocket Shawl! You can find the kit available at Lion Brand Yarn. This is a free pattern and a low-cost ad-free pdf is available in my Shop and Ravelry.
The Down-Home Pocket Shawl was inspired to be cozy as well as functional. I love keeping my hands warm and the Down-Home Pocket Shawl is made to do just that. This design works up quickly as it uses 2 strands of yarn and a repetitive pattern so it’s perfect to make on a weekend or over a couple of evenings. Using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn gives a little weight to the shawl so it holds its shape. You can use different colored yarn for the pockets too. I’ve designed this shawl using Jeans Yarn and the kit is available at Lion Brand Yarn, there are several beautiful colors to choose from and Jeans Yarn is exceptionally soft as well as durable.

I hope you love this fun and quick pattern! Please share with me on social media. You can follow me on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE! Tag me @pinkplumeriamaui and use #pinkplumeriamaui.
