Mulberry Shadow Pocket Scarf Crochet Pattern

Category: Cowls + Scarves / Crochet / Free Patterns / Patterns

Since the day I first started crocheting it’s always been a fun challenge figuring out exactly what I would like to design. I am often inspired by the unique colours and textures in nature, but one surefire way I am perpetually inspired is by the yarn and wools that I have the joy of working with each and every single day!

Just a little while ago I was actually fortunate enough to stumble upon a Juniper Moon Farm wool over at KnittingFever that I had never had the pleasure of working with before. Immediately I investigated and to my surprise found a bounty of luscious colours, which had me giddy with excitement. It was incredibly hard selecting just one colour to work with, but in the end I chose their Winter Meadow, and I am so happy that I did!

For some time now I’ve had the idea for a Mulberry Shadow Pocket Scarf brewing in the recess of my mind, which this wool works perfectly for, as not only is it extremely cozy (ideal for crocheting a snuggly scarf), but the shade is just gorgeous!

If you’re keen to also add some extra cosiness to your home this Winter, you can easily crochet a cabled throw cushion cover or an extra chunky and whimsical woodland moss basket!

    • Hi, I’ve made this scarf myself ☺
      For an adult scarf the total length before folding for pockets should be 117inches/297cm.
      However it does depend on the height of the person and how deep you want the pockets, you can just test the length every now and again as you crochet it ☺

  18. Thank you for the pattern, it is so simple and easy but creates a beautiful complex-looking scarf ☺ I’ve made it using Hayfield Peppermint Roll Bonanza Yarn so it changes colour by itself and it turned out lovely and stripey, will be a perfect Christmas gift 🎁
    Thanks again and Merry Christmas 🎅

  23. Love this pattern…
    I’m making a child size, is the 73” before you fold up for pockets?
    Also am I understanding that the pockets are to be folded back 17” on each side… Looks to be a very deep pocket for a child…
    Hope I’m reading this pattern correctly..

    Thank You
