Now you’re ready to sew your pockets onto the shawl. You’ll need a yarn needle, stitch markers and some extra yarn.
Lay your shawl flat and then use stitch markers to mark the fourth row in from each side. Match up the bottom of the pockets with the ends of the shawl. Center the pockets between the stitch markers.
Use a yarn needle to sew the pockets in place and then weave in all of your ends.
