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 enjoyed making this empire waisted apron, I have made one of each of my daughters (3) then purchased some great vintage fabrics and have made three more for friends, I have added a pocket on a couple and featured a small button on the pocket. I enjoyed the whole process and now look for more fabrics to make even more, the bit I enjoy most is choosing three fabrics and each choice throws up a completely different look, really love them, thank you very much. I have your printed off instructions nearby and hope to make many more. Joan
