Easy Stitch Patterns for Beginners

One of the best things about this pocket shawl is that you can use simple crochet stitches. Here are some easy stitch patterns that work beautifully for this project:

Single Crochet

The single crochet stitch is one of the most basic stitches and creates a dense, sturdy fabric. It’s perfect for a warm and durable shawl, especially if you want something that holds its shape well.

  • Best for: A solid, structured look that’s great for colder weather.

Half Double Crochet

The half-double crochet stitch is another beginner-friendly option that adds a bit more texture and height compared to single crochet. It works up quickly and creates a soft, flexible fabric.

  • Best for: A softer, more drapey shawl that’s still warm and cozy.

Double Crochet

For a lighter, more airy shawl, try the double crochet stitch. This stitch creates an open, lacy effect, making your shawl perfect for layering over spring and summer outfits.

  • Best for: An elegant, flowy look that’s perfect for transitional weather.
