DESCRIPTION

Digital Pattern Only

Pocket Scarfs - ideal for both neck and hands!Keeping your neck and shoulders cosy and warm, with pockets to calm fidgety hands, to warm cold hands.This Cats pocket scarf is especially dedicated to cat lovers.

A free size pocket scarf worked in CMC (Clean Mosaic Crochet).While specifically designed for work in CMC, I imagine one can easily make use of these charts for work in the other mosaic crochet methods (though you may have different sizing which I imagine, you can adjust and adapt for).

The extra advantage of using CMC here is that there are no cut yarn tails you have to deal with later.And I have not needed to work in a finishing edging/border as the edges of the work are clean enough as is.Saves a lot of time!

This is not a tutorial.

• I leave it up to you on how to attach the pockets.
• I leave it up to you on whether you want borders around your scarf
However I do provide links tutorials on various techniques and methods I used (should you want to use those techniques/methods).

Because of the easy nature of this casual and versatile pocket scarf, you don’t need to worry overly about exact and precise sizing.

PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONS
This is a free download - a gift from me to you.

This is a GRAPH with stitch-count notation (to save you from squinting and counting squares squares squares!!!). The pattern is designed to be worked in CMC but you are not limited to that method alone.
You are getting a PDF Digital download. (1 pdf; about 16 pgs)

After payment (if any), you will receive an email with the link for download.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PDF
1) There are 4 pages of graph.

The body of the pocket scarf is spread over 3 pages so that you can easily print, tape, and work off a hard copy.

The pockets are on another page.They are designed so that they seamlessly match the pattern of the pocket scarf. Align the pockets to the pattern when attaching them.2) Written Colour Counts so you don’t need to tax your eyes on the graph. The written colour count, row by row, will save you having to count & count from the graph!!!

2) Preliminary Notes on CMC and how to read my charts.

LEVEL
Intermediate to Advanced or anyone familiar with Mosaic Crochet; specifically CMC.
Need to be comfortable working off charted patterns: no repeating patterns so no written text; almost exclusively graph-based.

CROCHET TERMINOLOGY
The manuals are written in English.
I use US crochet terms and universal crochet symbols.

MATERIALS & SPECIFICATIONS
Crochet Terminology (when used): US & pictorial crochet symbols

Yarn: DK yarns (Stylecraft DK Special and Paintbox Simply DK)

Tip: can substitute with yarn that has manufacturer’s recommendation of 4mm needles.

Number of Colours: 2 or more
Hook size:3.5 mm

Crochet Stitch used: CMC (Clean Mosaic Crochet)

Alternative Method: other mosaic crochet methods can be used but will most likely result in different sizes. And with overlay mosaic crochet, if you have to cut yarns at the end of every row, then you will have to find a way to deal with those cuts ends (fringes, borders, etc. )
