I found that I don’t need the button, but if you’d like that extra security to keep the cardigan in place, it’s an easy and stylish option. There’s no need to make a complicated button hole as it will fit right through the fabric. I’ve slapped this sweater on friends of all sizes to test it out and it works!Ībove: Just crocheting on the front porchĪbove: So easy to assemble and create arm openingsĪbove you can see that I added a button in order to keep it on the shoulders even better. The pattern is also written in a size that will fit most of you. It doesn’t get easier or more mindless than this. You will crochet a basic rectangle following a simple stitch pattern, then fold in the corners and seam to create the arms. Win win.Īs usual, this blanket sweater works up just like a blanket. Something about the drape of the fabric, or maybe the texture of the yarn, but it stays put without the button. I’ve added the optional button with this sweater too, but YOU GUYS, this one doesn’t want to slide off my shoulders.
Have you found that sometimes the cocoons and blanket sweaters want to slide right off the shoulders? This is why in most of my blanket sweater designs you’ll find the option to add a button so the darn thing stays in place. Can you tell I like this one? Hehe! You can find the full, free pattern at the bottom of this blog post or you may choose to purchase the Lion Brand kit or the ad-free printable version from my Etsy shop HERE. And by light fabric, I mean it isn’t weighed down or hard to wear. The stitch works up fairly quickly and it creates a knit-like lofty, light fabric. In order to do that, I decided to use super bulky yarn (my fave!), a large hook and a textured stitch pattern. It turned out so nicely that I crocheted a second one for my mama! The one that you see pictured above reminds me a lot of my knit version (here) that has been a reader favorite. In fact, when Lion Brand Yarn contacted me about making two projects for their 12 weeks of Christmas series, I just knew that I wanted to try and make the warmest and most wearable blanket sweater yet.
Oh my – I am SO excited to share this new crocheted blanket cardigan with you today! Of all of the blanket sweaters that I’ve made, this one is quite possibly the coziest and most comfortable EVER.
