Amethyst Pocket Scarf Free Crochet Pattern

Yarn

Yarn Substitute Ideas

• Red Heart Gemstones – Offering a lot of bright, fun shades, the color selection of Gemstones is the closest that I’ve found to the original Facets yarn.
• Bernat Symphony – If subtle hues are more your style, this is a great option.
• Lion Brand Scarfie – Possibly the easiest to find yarn in this list. Scarfie will give you a slightly different look, with longer sections of each color.
• Bernat Crushed Velvet – If you’re looking for a less stripey option that has a bit fancier vibe, you’ll love this one!

Difficulty

Easy

This is a very beginner friendly scarf. If you know how to chain and single crochet, you should be able to handle this pattern with ease! The pockets will give you an opportunity to practice a really simple decrease which is explained in the special stitches section.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for this project but if you want your scarf to turn out the same size as mine, you’ll want to match my gauge.

Abbreviations

• ch(s) – chain(s)
• sc – single crochet
• st(s) – stitch(es)
• yo – yarn over
• sc2tog – single crochet 2 together (decrease)

Special Stitches

• sc2tog over next 2 ch spaces – insert hook into first ch space, yo and draw up a loop, insert hook into next ch space, yo and draw up a loop, yo and draw through all loops on hook.

Optional: Attach a large button to each pocket for decoration.

How to Customize It

The special finishing touches you add are what makes your scarf truly unique!

• Add fringe or tassels – It’s so easy to give a scarf a little something extra by adding fringe or tassels along the ends. Here is an easy tutorial on making and attaching fringe.
• Decorate the pockets – I like to add buttons to the pockets but you could also decorate them with patches, embroidery, or crocheted shapes like this easy heart pattern.
• Repurpose pockets from old clothes – If you’re really feeling crafty, you could cut the pockets off an old pair of jeans or a shirt and sew them onto the scarf rather than crocheting pockets.
