How To Crochet The Scarf With Pockets
To crochet this shawl pattern you will only need to know basic crochet stitches, the single and double crochet.
You will work back and forth in rows until you’ve crocheted a long scarf.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
