Persimmon Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern

Wrap yourself in warmth and style with the Persimmon Pocket Shawl Crochet Pattern, a cozy crochet accessory that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Featuring classic granny stitches and deep, practical pockets, this shawl is the perfect layering piece for chilly days. With easy construction and timeless texture, it’s a must-make for fall and winter!

Yarn Details

For this shawl, I used Wool of the Andes Worsted from WeCrochet. This 100% Peruvian Highland wool yarn is warm, sturdy, and holds its shape beautifully—perfect for garments and accessories like this one. The rustic texture of the yarn gives the granny stitch an extra cozy feel, and it comes in a beautiful range of colors to match any wardrobe.

If you prefer to use a different yarn or need a more accessible option, here are some great substitutes that work well with this pattern:

• Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran – A wool/acrylic blend that’s soft and affordable, with great stitch definition.
• Cascade 220 – 100% wool, very similar to Wool of the Andes, and available in tons of colors.
• Lion Brand Wool-Ease – A wool/acrylic blend that’s easy to find in stores and machine washable.
• Berroco Vintage – A soft and sturdy blend of acrylic, wool, and nylon; great for sensitive skin.
• Stylecraft Special Aran – 100% acrylic and budget-friendly with a soft feel, perfect for those avoiding wool.

Stitches & Techniques Used

The Persimmon Pocket Shawl uses:

• Granny Stitch: A classic combo of double crochet clusters that creates a beautiful, open texture.
• Post Stitches: Front and back post double crochet are used to create the ribbing along the sides of the shawl and around the pockets. These add structure and a knit-like look that complements the granny stitch perfectly.

If you’re comfortable with basic crochet stitches and are ready to try out post stitches, this is a great project to grow your skills.

Weave in the ends.

Repeat for other pocket.
