Cocoon Cardigan – Free Sewing Pattern
As the temperature dips and the crisp air sets in, there’s nothing quite like snuggling up in a cozy cardigan. Enter the Cocoon Cardigan, a free sewing pattern and tutorial that promises to be the perfect solution for those chilly days. In this review, we’ll delve into the details of this delightful DIY project, exploring its ease of use, versatility, and overall comfort.
Pattern and Fabric Selection: The Cocoon Cardigan pattern, available for free on the Sew in Love website, offers a simple yet stylish design perfect for lounging at home or running errands in style. What sets this pattern apart is its versatility; it can be made with a variety of fabrics, making it suitable for different seasons and occasions. For my project, I opted for a bamboo knit jersey from Wazoodle, which provided the ideal combination of lightness, softness, and drape.

I have two skinny kids and they have issues with the waist of their pants swallowing them up to get the length that fits correctly. With a girl it is easy to add on a decorative fabric at the bottom to add length, but with my 11 year old boy we just have to buy them a little big in the waist, and always get adjustable waist.
The great thing about having skinny kids is that when they blow through the knees, or grow out of the pants in length we can cut them off and edge them to make shorts. My kids can fit the same waist size for years! So we only buy pants, and make the shorts most of the time. Plus skirts and shorts last forever, as the length is not an issue.
