Crochet Pocket Shawls for My Mom and Myself, Crochet Pocket Shawl Patterns and Video Tutorials

Crochet pocket shawls are really big this year! So, of course, I had to make one for myself too!

I made this bright yellow one a couple of months ago. I chose simple crochet cables, which are made with front post treble crochets. I really like the texture of my shawl and the way it drapes! 

The yarn that I used is Impeccable by Loops & Threads. I have a lot of this yarn on hand. Last year, I bought several huge balls as it was on sale at Michael's. 

My mom really liked my pocket shawl though she wasn't too fond of the color. She says it's too bright for her age. I disagree, I don't think there should be any rules of what colors one can or cannot wear! 

But I respect my mom's preferences! Since she like the shawl, I decided to make one for her too! 

I used the same yarn (Impeccable by Loops & Threads), but in a neutral beige color, and for the texture I chose rows of what I believe is called arrow stitch.

The texture of this pocket shawl is more dense than of the previous one, so it took me a bit longer to finish this project. But I greatly enjoyed working on it, especially since I was making it for the dearest people of all - my Mom! 

I'm giving it to her for Christmas! 

 

I made very detailed video tutorials for both of these pocket shawls. They are on my YouTube channel! 

I also wrote the patterns, which are available for sale in my Etsy and Ravelry shops!

Lacy Leaves Mohair and Silk Shawl, Crochet Pattern and Video Tutorial

 

Have you ever worked with mohair blend yarn? This was my first time ever! Oh boy, it is very hard! 

I crocheted this shawl with super fine (category 1, lace) 70% super kid mohair and 30% silk blend, and a hook size H (5 mm). It was a real challenge! 

But the final result is absolutely stunning! When I hold this shawl in my hands, it feels as if I am holding a fluffy cloud! It's so light, airy, and delicate!  

Here are some mohair and silk blend yarns on Amazon (these are affiliate links, and if you make a purchase, I will get a small affiliate commission from Amazon):

The final measurements of my shawl are 60 inches long and 17 inches wide. This project took approximately 690 yards of yarn.   

I created a very detailed video tutorial, which is on my YouTube channel:

Crochet Lacy Cowl, Crossed Double Treble Stitches, Crochet Video Tutorial and Pattern

It is still summer, but we crocheters are always a step ahead, and I am already working on autumn projects. 

This is a lacy cowl, which is light and airy in texture, but at the same time warm and cozy. 

For this design, in addition to basic stitches such as single and double crochets, I also used crossed double treble crochets, which can be a bit challenging to make at first, but get better with practice. 

I used one skein of Soft & Shiny yarn by Loops & Threads (100% acrylic, about 300 yards) and a hook size H (5 mm). 

 

I have a detailed video tutorial on my Youtube channel: 

And the written pattern is available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. 

Crochet Lace Summer Scarf, Alize Bahar Cotton Yarn, New Crochet Pattern and Video Tutorial

Happy August dear friends! 

Even though this summer I am not enjoying the beach or traveling on any vacations, I still try to enjoy every sunny day! 

I go for a lot of walks, and sometimes I spend solo time crocheting by the small lake in the park across the road from my home!

  

And my recent crochet creation is a lacy scarf made with 100% mercerized cotton! 

I crocheted this scarf along the length, not along the width the way I usually do, and I love the way it turned out! 

The specific yarn that I used is Alize Bahar 100% Mercerized Cotton (2 skeins, 274 yards each skein). And I worked with a hook size E (3.5 mm).

Only basic stitches are used in this design, so it will be suitable for crochet beginners! 

The final measurements of my scarf are 58 inches long and 9.5 inches wide, but the pattern can be easily adjusted to any custom size! 

This stitch will also work for a variety of other crochet projects, such as a summer top or blouse, beach or swim pool coverup, perhaps a table runner or a tablecloth, etc.

I created a very detailed video tutorial: 

I also have the pattern available in the written form in my Etsy and Ravelry shops!
