About the Hidden Pocket Scarf Design
The hidden pocket scarf is a versatile and practical accessory that combines style and function.
This crochet scarf features a hidden pocket that can be used to store small items like keys, a phone, or cash.
The design is also perfect for chilly days when you need to keep your hands warm if you don’t have gloves with you.
With a few basic crochet skills, you can easily create your own hidden pocket scarf and have fun doing it.

Yarn used for This Scarf
It is recommended to use a medium weight yarn (also known as worsted weight or 4 weight) for the best results with this scarf.
Acrylic yarn is a great option for beginners as it is affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a wide range of colors. You can also choose a wool or wool blend yarn for added warmth and durability.
This specific pattern calls for Lion Brand Heartland which is a 100% acrylic worsted weight 4 yarn. You will need 2 colors. A couple testers for this pattern actually used 3 colors and the results turned out really great!
Construction of the Scarf
There is nothing difficult at all when it comes to creating the pocket for this scarf. For that reason this can be a nice crochet pattern for a beginner to work on. The only difficulty may be managing the 2 different colors.
This hidden pocket scarf is worked as a long tube. One slit to form the hidden pocket is worked into the pattern itself and the second slit is formed when each end of the tube is sewn together.
So lets get started on your very own hidden pocket scarf!
