I am delighted to present my latest design: The Chevron Cascade Pocket Wrap!
This design started out with a request from a friend for a poncho or pocket wrap/shawl to keep her warm this winter.
In searching for inspiration, I found the incredibly popular Perfect Pockets Shawl by Sonja Hood. My friend liked this one but asked for something longer in the back instead.
So, I decided to go with a chevron, with some texture like my previous designs:
- Chevron Hearts Wallet
- Rainbow Drops Sun Hat Free Crochet Pattern
- How to Crochet the Fast-forward Chevron Purse
- How to Crochet the Feather Storm Coat
I think this project came out amazingly well! It’s long at the back, has a beautiful texture, and pockets hidden on the inside!
The Chevron Cascade Pocket Wrap is also really fun and easy to make with just a 4 row repeat!
My aim, as always, is to write patterns that are as clear and easy to follow as possible. I also like to create amazing textures with as little effort as possible. I hope this pattern meets this criteria for you and you thoroughly enjoy making it yourself!

How much yarn does it have? I could not find the amount.
I still need to work it out but 4 skeins blue and 2 black should be good.
I have 2 questions. I. Is there a gauge? 2. How do you deal with not cutting or carrying the yarn not being used? I am looking forward to making this for myself.
Gauge: 12 stitches and 15 rows = 4 inches
Yarn is dropped, work 2 rows with other colors and switch. I’ve yet to meet someone who loves weaving in ends so I always design to minimize this 🙂 Hope you enjoy the project 🙂
I don’t mind weaving in ends. Do you think it would be ok to cut the yarn and then join back in where needed? And is the 12 stitches sc or dc. Thank you for being patient with me. Penny
12 x 15 is sc. You should get 12×7.5 if you do dc.
Sure you can cut if you prefer 🙂
Any photos of someone wearing it? Its a bit difficult to determine how it will look on, from the current photos. I’m thinking of making it for a family member but want to be sure it would look right on her. Thank you so much for giving us a new take on pocket wraps.
If you click the Ravelry or Etsy link there are more photos there 🙂
I can not wait to try this! It is so pretty! I love the color you used. Thank you for this pattern
This is gorgeous.. thank you for sharing.. looking forward to making..
Kat, This is a beatific design. I’ve saved it for later when I get time. I love the colors and how they contrast.
Is the ribbing for a sleeve?
The ribbing makes it wrap better around the body 🙂
