So you don’t have a lot of time but you want to make something that’s super cute and easy? Or maybe you’re brand new to crochet and every pattern you see seems overwhelming and complicated. I get it.
I’m not new to the art of crochet – some would say I’ve been crocheting since the dawn of time – but that’s another story. My grandmother taught me the crochet basics. I learned how to read patterns when I was 20 and pregnant with my oldest daughter. I found a simple ripple pattern and then taught myself the mechanics of reading a pattern, learning the stitch abbreviations, practicing the stitches and so on.
With a lot of encouragement from Elisabeth and a few other crochet and maker friends, I started writing my own crochet patterns. Writing patterns has reinvigorated my love for crochet and bringing easy, uncomplicated patterns to crocheters is my mission.
Recently I noticed how pocket scarves are all the rage right now. They sure are gorgeous and so very practical. For the winter climate I live in, I need something that’s thick and cozy. I also wanted to make something that was easy and had loads of texture. With that in mind, I designed the Twisted Bliss Pocket Scarf.
The Twisted Bliss Pocket Scarf is beginner friendly, fashionable, cold weather practical, and hooks up in about 2.5 hours. If you can single crochet a rectangle, you can crochet this pocket scarf!

- Yarn: Bulky weight yarn 6 (I used Caron Sprinkle Cakes): 8.5oz/240g/204 yards/186m (1 cake)You will use approximately 3 cakes or 450 yards for the scarf.
- Hook: 10 mm (P) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle to weave in tails
- Pins or stitch markers to hold pockets in place for sewing
Experience level
This pattern is beginner friendly.

Pattern notes
- The Twisted Bliss Pocket Scarf pattern and photographs are the property of Peggy Nolan/Twisted Crochet and are for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not alter, share, or sell this pattern in any way. However, you are more than welcome to sell the finished product. Please credit Peggy Nolan/Twisted Crochet by including a link to the pattern listing if you are selling the finished piece online.
- CH 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as first stitch.
- Gauge is not too important for this pattern, but you do want to be close to it.
- Length of scarf can be adjusted based on a person’s height. For example, I’m 63 inches vertically challenged so a 61 inch long scarf is the right length for me and where my hands go in the pockets. 61 inches in length *should* be the right length for anyone 60 inches – 64 inches tall. To adjust, take your height in inches and subtract 2 inches to reach your scarf length.
- Fringe is optional.
