Join Tamara Kelly of Moogly and Furls Crochet for their December CAL. Details and dates below. The Sugar Plum Pocket Wrap is an oversized, extra cozy wrap with some unique features! The stitch pattern is easy to memorize, but made with a great mix of stitches for tons of texture. Then the whole wrap is turned on its end for even more interest. Finally, pockets are added – after being crocheted at an angle. This pattern will have you crocheting in all directions, for a finished pocket shawl that’s a wearable piece of art!
