A simple shawl that works up quickly, the Beryl Flutter Shawl is a good pattern for someone whos not-quite-a-beginner crochet artist. The shawl itself is an easy repeated row, and the pockets are created deftly by folding up the front tips of the shawl and attaching them via single crochets to the bottom border. A slightly more intricate border gives this piece extra visual interest.

The Beryl Flutter Shawl would take on an entirely different but equally sophisticated look in a soft solid like ecru or slate.
