crocheted pocket scarf

finally finished my pocket scarf! i love it. the pockets are super deep and the scarf itself is like, windproof. the only thing i’d do differently next time is use a lighter yarn for the pockets, because they are a touch on the heavy side.

if you want to make a pocket scarf, there are two ways to do it that are absurdly easy:

  1. crochet a REALLY long rectangle. how long? as long as you want your scarf to be, plus the length of your two pockets. when you’re all done, fold up the ends a little bit and sew the edges.
  2. if you want a more structured look or want to use different texture yarns, crochet your scarf in 3 separate pieces. a long rectangle for the scarf, and two short ones for the pockets (make sure you widths are the same!)
  3. make tons of these little guys and sew them on! the link contains a simple pattern for both flowers and leaves.

in slightly related news, i now own thelittlebee.com and will soon be setting up shop somewhere :D haven’t decided if i’m gonna handle it through etsy or just code the damn thing up myself.
