The Ana Pocket Shawl crochet pattern is free and pairs simplicity with a pop! The bobble like, pineapple stitch creates an eye catching pocket and center detail.
This pocket shawl crochets up quickly in chunky weight yarn. Which means, you can make it and wear it this season! I love a good puff stitch, but they can be yarn eaters. To keep the yarn usage under wraps, I opted for a 4 row repeat featuring those luscious pineapple puff stitches. And to balance out the simplicity I went all in on the pineapple stitches for the pockets of this shawl. I love the beautiful texture and how bobblicious they are in the bulky weight yarn.

The Ana Pocket Shawl is an intermediate crochet pattern that pairs two beloved crochet traditions in one wearable piece: the lacy elegance of pineapple crochet and the satisfying pop of bobble stitches, all built on a foundation of extended half double crochet (ehdc) for a fabric with exceptional drape and body.

Construction and Technique

• Worked flat and sideways (lengthwise construction), building the full 48-inch span row by row
• Extended half double crochet (ehdc) forms the base fabric, creating a slightly taller, more fluid stitch than standard hdc
• Pineapple crochet motifs are worked into the body for classic lacy patterning that reads as intricate without requiring advanced shaping
• Bobble stitches add dimensional texture alongside the lace sections
• Built-in pockets: functional patch pockets integrated into the design so your hands stay warm and your shawl stays on
• Suitable for intermediate makers comfortable reading a written stitch pattern and working lace sequences
