Kate Spade Chunky Stripe Pocket Scarf Knitting Pattern

     Pockets on a scarf? Yes, please! I saw this this Kate Spade Stripe Scarf on Shopbop recently and I knew I had to make my own inspired knitting pattern. I love the combo of the stripes with the long fringe. I know I’m going to get a lot of use out of this scarf…and it costs a fraction of the price of the original! 

Note- Since this scarf is knit in Stockinette Stitch, it naturally wants to roll into itself. I steam blocked this scarf and it made it lay flat and look so much better. I also steam blocked the pockets before sewing them on. Here’s a helpful article about steam blocking acrylic.
