Embarker Free Knit Cocoon Cardigan Pattern
Embarker Free Knit Cocoon Cardigan Pattern by Ashley Lillis
I just love cozying up in this cardigan! It’s simple construction and repeating embossed diamond stitch creates a fun project that you’ll be enjoying all winter. Its knit in a rectangle, folded in half lengthwise and seamed on the sides to create the classic cocoon construction. This kind of cardigan is great for newbie sweater makers because of its simplicity.
Size Guide + Finished Measurements
Finished measurements of the cardigan are approximately 44 in/111 cm wide from arm to arm and 37.5 in/95.5 cm cm tall. To make the cardigan, wider or narrower from arm to arm, increase or decrease your STS in increments of 10. The pattern is a 10 ST repeat. To change the length of the cardigan, you can decrease or increase the number of rows you complete.
