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.

Thanks, Anne for featuring this. I should have done a picture tutorial, but oh well, we only have time for so much nowadays! Thank you most of all for telling all the real names – contrast hem facing and scoop pockets – love that I now know what they’re called! So embarrassing.
