The Pocket Scarf

Pockets on a scarf? It may seem strange, but truthfully pockets on a scarf are crazy useful. How often do you forget your mittens at home? How often do you get stuck wearing cute pants with "girl pockets" that are 1 inch deep? This scarf gives you a place to put your hands or phone when the weather is cold and your girl pants let you down.

This pattern comes from Reader's Digest's book "Crochet in No Time" by Melody Griffiths. I would not recommend this book for beginners since the patterns are difficult to read. However, this book has many great ideas.

I used lion brand yarn, and I made sure it was extra bulky to add unique texture to this unusual scarf. The pockets are sewn on. The button is not in the original pattern, but I enjoy a little extra bling.
