Introducing our cozy cocoon-style cardigan, designed to feel like a warm hug on those chilly autumn mornings. This beautiful cardigan features an intricate cable design at the back and a generous shawl collar in the front, making it the perfect layering piece for any wardrobe. The modular construction allows knitters of all skill levels to focus on one element of the pattern at a time, enhancing your crafting experience.

This exquisite cardigan is primarily worked in a modular fashion, providing a unique and engaging knitting challenge. To start, you'll create the eye-catching back cable, which is expertly knitted from the bottom up. Then, the cardigan sides are crafted by picking up stitches from the cable panel and working outward towards the sleeve cuffs. For the finishing touch, stitches for the ribbed lower edging are seamlessly picked up from the body and knitted downward. Finally, you'll complete the look by picking up stitches for the shawl collar from the held cable panel stitches and working outward, ensuring a snug fit that beautifully frames your neckline.

This updated version of our stylish cocoon cardigan was originally published in Interweave Knits, Fall 2016. Our new edition includes detailed written directions alongside helpful charts, making it even easier to follow along. Perfect for both novice and experienced knitters, this pattern is a delightful addition to your collection. Experience the warmth and comfort of this cardigan, and elevate your autumn wardrobe with this stunning handmade piece!
