Cocoon Crochet Cardigan

Creating a cocoon crochet cardigan can be done in several different ways. Learning how to crochet is fun process but it takes time to develop a technique. My goal is to show you how to create beautiful crochet creation from a beginner’s perspective. Simplifying the process so you can fall in love with crocheting and learn more complicated techniques, as you get better. This tutorial/pattern will allow you to create a cardigan using basic crochet stitches.

Materials Needed for the Cocoon Cardigan

• Yarn Suggestion- Yarn A) Bernat Softee Chunky- 5 Skeins Yarn B) Charisma– 2 skeins
• Hook- 9mm
• Yarn Needle
• Scissors

Legend:

ch- Chain
dc- Double Crochet
sl st- Slip Stich

Notes:

This cocoon cardigan is like a one size fits most. However, these instructions have been written for a Large/XL size, but you can completely customize the project to fit all sizes. The size is roughly the height of a person divided in half.
For Example: 5’4=64” square would be 33”

You will be making a square, for the most part, if you have a larger bust area you can add more rows, which will make your cardigan wider.

If you want to make it longer then you’ll add more stitches in the foundation chain. Measure across your chest and then chain a bit more.

Size Chart (this is an approximate):
Small- ch 48
Medium- ch 52
Large- ch 56
Note: Keep in mind, measure yourself (shoulder to shoulder) and then chain enough to cover the distance. If you are making for someone else use the above measurements as a template.
