Braided Cable Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern

The Braided Cable Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern uses the Braided Cable stitch for a pretty and textured border throughout. This cable stitch is on the easier side (for a cable stitch) and is great for the beginner cable maker! Plus, I have a video tutorial for the Braided Cable Stitch.

Let’s talk yarn! For this pattern I used WeCrochet Shine Worsted in Currant. This is a pima cotton blend, but any worsted weight yarn would work great – cotton, acrylic or wool!
