The pocket is created by folding each end of the scarf and then seam on the side.

This simple pocket shawl scarf is super quick to whip up because uses thick yarn, in this pattern I use acrylic DK weight that holds double when crocheted to create the chunky look to the scarf.

Let’s get started with how to crochet a pocket scarf step by step.

Start off by making a slip knot Then make 28 chains (foundation chain) and hold the yarn double which means holding 2 strands of yarn while crocheting.

For my rectangle for the hoodie I measure about 26 inches long and 9 inches wide.

Finish off and leave the long tail for sewing,

Assemble the hoodie part of the scarf.

Fold the rectangle in half and we stitch up the back of the rectangle to form the hoodie by using a yarn needle.

If you guys can’t picture how I did this then have a look at my teddy bear hoodie hat have more detail on it.

Make a ribbed band for the hoodie and the pocket part.

A ribbed band We make separate from the scarf and hoodie

So we make 2 pieces for each side of the pocket scarf and 1 piece for the hoodie hat.

Start off by making a slip knot Then make 6 chains (foundation chain) hold the yarn double which means hold 2 strands of yarn while crocheting.

 

Row1.   hdc in the next chain from hook, then 1hdc in the next all across until the end of the row, Turn chain 1

Row 2. Blo, hdc in the next stitch from hook, then 1hdc in the next all across until the end of the row, Turn chain 1

Repeat row 2 until you have reached the desired length.

The band of the hoodie I measure is 26 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.

For the scarf band, I measure mine as 6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.

Now we are ready to assemble the red riding hood pocket scarf.

We attach the ribbed band to each end of the scarf by sewing using a yarn needle after we finished attaching the band. Then we take one end of the scarf and fold it back 8 inches on top of the scarf. This will create the pocket.

Repeat on the other end of the scarf.

For the band of the hoodie, we attached them by sewing.

After we did with 1 piece of the hoodie and the pocket scarf then we attach the hoodie to the pocket scarf.

Finally, you could add the pom pom to give the finishing touch or it’s also very pretty as it is without the pom pom.
