Cozy Cardigan

Turn the blanket into a DIY cocoon cardigan

I saw such cute cocoon cardigans in the store recently, but they are expensive and I can never find the right color or size. Cocoon cardigans have great crochet patterns so I can make my own in the right size and color, but I don't have time to crochet something that big. So I decided to make a DIY cocoon cardigan out of a blanket. I'm using a knitted stroller blanket, so it looks like the whole thing is hand knitted, but it's really just a few rows of needles, no knitting or crocheting at all!

Crocheted Blanket Cardigan - A Beginner's Style!

After receiving my 7 hour cocoon cardigan, I decided to make another cochet blanket cardigan pattern.

A structured bodice and collar give this sweater an elegant look. The pattern includes 3/4 sleeve and full sleeve options.

I made this pattern using Lion Brand's soft, luxurious and affordable Oxford Grey wool Ease yarn. It has so many amazing shades to choose from and you can easily find your favorite one.

Lion Brand Wool-Ease comes in 2 weights, the worsted weight I use here and a king size called Wool-Ease Thick and Quick. Be sure to choose the medium size marked as size 4.

The length of the bottom chain determines the height of the cardigan. Due to the elasticity of the stitches, it can be difficult to measure the width of the fabric when processing multiple rows. So be sure to choose hooks that match the strength.

Comment:

1. The pattern is processed laterally from sleeve to sleeve.

2. First make a large rectangle, fold and sew, then punch holes in the sleeves. Then add ribbing to the sleeves and collar.

3. The number of stitches for the large size is in parentheses and the order is XS/S (M, L, XL, 2XL).

4. It is important to check the size of this pattern because as the stretch fabric gets larger, it becomes difficult to measure.

Fold the rectangle in half as shown in the photo above, with armholes on each side, and make a mark in the center of the neck. It doesn't match the markings you made on the back of the cardigan because it's moved now.

Measure 17 (17 1/2, 17 1/2, 18, 18) inches on either side of the center point and mark the point with a pair of different colored markers or scrap yarn. Your cuffs will be wider, add a sc between these two marks to create a wide collar.

Now measure 2 inches from the left marker and place another marker of a different color for the buttonhole. You can now delete the marker placed in the middle (red marker in the image above). It is only there to help you find the markings on the collar. You now have 2 markers for the collar, one for the buttonholes and one for the mid back.
