The pattern is created from left to right. The 1st Chain 1 or 2 is not counted as a stitch. The pattern can be adjusted height wise by increasing or decreasing the initial Foundation Single Crochet by two. As written the headband will measure 5 ½ by 21 inches.
The Destiny Pocket Shawl was inspired by an amazing trip I recently took to Destin, FL. It was a little chilly in the evenings and this shawl would have definitely come in handy. I chose a medium weight yarn to ensure its cozy and warm but not too heavy. This will be perfect addition to your wardrobe.

Center and pin the pockets ½ inch from the edge. Using needle and yarn stitch the pocket to the shawl. Do not go all the way through the back of the shawl, insert the needle through a stitch or two of the shawl to keep the back looking uniform.
Fringes
The fringes are optional. Measure 7 inches in length (14inches total, folded in half). Evenly place two fringes along the two ends of the shawl. I placed them in the side of each single crochet.

I wrote this pattern a few months ago, my very first. The process was much harder than I thought. I wanted to make sure I learned from other patterns I had bought and felt should have more details. I also wanted to take the good from other great pattern writers. Ensuring I included the correct guidelines, guages and details was imperative. My pattern had to be easy to read and follow. So i did my research.
After remaking the skirt several times, Pineapple-skirt-pattern , it was finally ready for testers. I was excited when the testers found very few changes. It was ready to be published. I decided to list it on my Etsy page as well as Ravelry. The sales in no means made me rich but I was pleased, not only with the sales but the good reviews. I’m on my way to becoming a designer!!
I’m now working on my next pattern which will be published soon. I was commissioned to make some little girl skirts and socks and decided to design my own.
