Free Crochet Pocket Shawl Pattern – The Gotto Godda Wrap

To order a finished wrap head on over here: The Gotto Godda Wrap or scroll down for the free pocket shawl pattern.

Dress it up or dress it down, jeans or a dress; The Gotto Godda Wrap is the accessory you never knew you needed.  Whether you are lounging at home or hard at work in the office, walking the beach or taking a road trip, running errands or unplugged around the bonfire; this wrap will keep you cozy without skimping on style.  Keep your hands toasty or stash the necessities in the over-sized pockets that are featured on each end.  Yes!! It has pockets!!

This wrap is a great project for a confident beginner that’s ready to test their skills and maybe even learn a new technique or two. It is made in 3 sections; the main body using simple stitches with some easy counting, the textured border using front/back post double crochets in the round, and the pockets that will be sewn on at the end.

The length from pocket to pocket will match your height (the same length as your wingspan). The textured border that is worked around the entire perimeter adds an additional 2 inches past each pocket. The Gotto Godda measures approximately 18 inches wide providing plenty of coverage. Optional fringe brings on some boho flair and adds an additional 5 inches on each end.

Materials Needed:

4 skeins (355 yards each) I love this Yarn or another category 4/worsted weight yarn.

(Yarn needed is based on a wrap for someone 5′ 5″. I used the 4th skein for 1 pocket and the fringe and had a lot left over. You may need a 5th skein if it is for someone much taller, or possibly only 3 if it is for someone much shorter and/or omitting the fringe)

6 mm (J) hook – I’m using my favorite Clover Amour hook

Stitch markers

Scissors

Yarn Needle

Tape Measure

Optional: DVD case for easy fringe cutting

Guage:

4″ x 4″ swatch = 13 DC x 7 rows

Stitches/Abbreviations:

ch- chain

sc- single crochet

HDC- half double crochet

DC- double crochet

BLO- back loop only

FLO- front loop only

FPDC- front post double crochet

BPDC- back post double crochet

Notes:

Pattern is written using American crochet terms

Starting chain is adjusted based on the height of the recipient. Must be an odd number.

To determine starting chain:

1″ = 3.25 stitches I am 5′ 5″. 5′ 5″ = 65 inches 65 x 3.25 = 211.25 stitches. Round up. Starting ch = 213

In other words: take your height in inches and multiply by 3.25. Round up to the nearest ODD number.

Starting chains by height:

5′ = 195

5′ 1″ = 199

5′ 2′ = 203

5′ 3″ = 205

5′ 4″ = 209

5′ 5″= 213

5′ 6″= 215

5′ 7″ = 219

5′ 8″ = 221

5′ 9″ = 225

5′ 10″ = 229

5′ 11″ = 231

6″ = 234

Create your starting chain based on your height from above.

DC row = 2 DC

You should have 22 DC’s across.

ch 1, working down side, sc down and around 3 sides. Fasten off leaving a very long tail for sewing your pocket on.

Sewing on the pockets:

Using stitch markers, attach your pocket like shown. Be sure both the wrap and pocket have right side facing up. (You can tell the right side by all of the ridges and texture created with those BLO/FLO stitches). Use a whip stitch, working through the BLO of the pocket, to sew around 3 sides starting from the top right corner. Fasten off. **I add extra stitches and work through both loops in each corner for extra security.**

Weave in all ends.

Optional fringe:

Cut your fringe about 11″ long. For easy fringe cutting, wrap yarn around the short side of a DVD case and cut.

Evenly attach 4 strands at a time starting in one corner and working across skipping about 5 stitches between.
