The Stellate Shawl is a pocket shawl that addresses my personal issues with the standard design. First, it is worked from short end to short end, allowing for easier length customization (plus, you don’t have to chain/foundation stitch a bazillion times!). Second, it is designed so you can access the pockets from both the right side and wrong side of the shawl, meaning that you don’t have to expose your arms to the chill to use the pockets! Cute buttons keep the outer flap closed when not in use.

Dimensions: about 65”/165 cm long x 14”/35.5 cm wide, length is adjustable

Level: Advanced beginner/intermediate. Uses fpdc/bpdc, hdc in the third loop, and a bit of seaming for the pockets.

Yarn: about 1533-1643 yd (700-750) worsted (4) weight yarn. Sample used WeCrochet Comfy Color Mist Worsted in Ditto. This yarn is on the lighter end of worsted. Yarn is held double throughout.

Additional materials: 4 0.75”/1.75 cm buttons
