So why are trench coats called trench coats? 

The term “trench coat” originates from its historical significance and original purpose. Trench coats were initially designed for and worn by soldiers in the trenches during World War I. The coat’s design and features were tailored to meet the needs of military personnel in the trenches, providing them with protection from the elements, particularly rain and wind.

The trench coat’s key characteristics, such as its double-breasted front, belted waist, epaulets, storm flaps, and durable fabric, were practical elements intended to serve soldiers in the trenches effectively. The length of the coat typically extended below the knees, providing additional coverage and protection.

After World War I, trench coats gained popularity among civilians due to their functionality, versatility, and timeless style. They transitioned from military uniforms to fashionable outerwear worn by both men and women in various settings, including everyday wear, business attire, and formal occasions.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
