What Crochet Stitches Are Used in This Pattern?
This shrug-like crochet cardigan for beginners features a wonderful texture created with the suzette stitch. It’s a simple but very beautiful stitch that uses an easy combination of single crochet and double crochet stitches. Moreover, the garment has a stylish ribbing and a wide collar worked with single crochets.
What Is the Recommended Yarn Weight for This Project?
While making this crochet cocoon cardigan, go for medium-weight yarn to produce a warm fabric very soft to the touch. The sample visible in the pictures was crafted with Lion Brand Heartland, which is a 100% yarn with a delightful drape and very light feel.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors, but you must admit that the classic gray looks really stunning on this handmade cardigan!
