I am so excited to share my Fiddle Stitch Pocket Shawl. This shawl is a lot of fun to work up and the best part is it is a great project for those of us who can’t sit still. I designed it with popcorn stitches that create a fun design but also provide you texture to fiddle with. When you place your hands in the pockets, you can play with the popcorn stitches and the ridges from the front post stitches to get that sensory input.
This pocket shawl can be made with any worsted weight yarn and works up quickly. You can easily use up any 4 weight yarn in your stash.
