Hello everyone! How’s your Winter going? It’s a touch chilly here but no snow, not really a snowing place that I live any way. That doesn’t stop me from making cute and cozy scarves for the Winter season. This week’s design is all about cozy and, like the title says, it’s got pockets! Years ago I got a scarf that had pockets and I loved it, even if I didn’t really use the pockets for anything other than some lipstick, but it was so useful and cute. I’ve been wanting to make one for a while and finally got to this season. I’ve written out the instructions below, in two sizes and there are some notes on how make the pockets bigger and, as always, you can make the scarf as long as you’d want.
I hope you like this design as much as I do. 😀

Notes
- This pattern is worked in 3 sections: the 2 pockets, the scarf, and the fringe. The pockets are worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st of the row. The scarf is worked back and forth in rows, with a turn at the beginning/ end of the row. The pocket finishing is then done, which includes closing up the pockets with a row of single crochets and then fringe being added added at the end of the pockets.
- This pattern is worked from pocket 1 to pocket 2, in one piece.
- The ch 1 at the beginning of the pockets sections does not count as a stitch.
- The ch 3 at the beginning of the scarf rows does count as a stitch. Use a chainless starting double crochet on these rows to make your scarf cleaner.
- The stitch counts at the end of the scarf rows count both dcs and bpdcs.
- The pockets are into the back loop only (BLO). At the end of the row, slip st into both loops of your 1st st, this will help to keep your seam straight.
- You will need to know how to create a slipknot on your hook for this pattern.
- You will need to know how to make a foundation single crochet to extend a row for this pattern.
- When starting the row with a new color on the pockets, just pull up the color when you do the ch 1 at the beginning of the row.
- Every stitch in the pocket section is a single crochet. The directions for that section (where the graphing is) will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many stitches to make.
- In the example, the inactive yarn is carried behind the active. If this is confusing, you might want to check out the helpful Moogly video on tapestry.
- Color A is blue (Charisma Tweed in Blue was used) and color B is off white (Charisma in Off White was used).
