Looking for the perfect, classy Blanket Cardigan crochet pattern? Look no more because this is it, my friend!
I’m a sucker for cardigans – but I don’t think that’s much of a secret. š Between the Painted Canyon Cardigan, the Cozy Coed Cardigan, and now this Blanket Cardigan we’ve got cardigans for dayyys…
I absolutely love the way this new blanket cardigan pattern works up. I love the drape, the feel of the fabric, and especially the fringe. And I’m totally not a fringe person.Ā Here’s a great way to make fringe fast!
I’ll be honest: my first run of this pattern was, ummm… less than flattering (see below). And by less than flattering I mean I probably won’t wear it out of the house. š That being said, after perfecting the design I am absolutely IN LOVE! ♥
Blanket Cardigan Crochet PatternĀ
What’s different about this blanket cardigan opposed to others? There are actual shoulders built into this design, that’s what! My first attempt at a blanket cardigan was a legit rectangle with arm slits cut out:
Wow, that’s a busy yarn, isn’t it? Yikes, no wonder I redid it. LOL! The rectangle with arm slits worked great all the way up until I tried it on at the end. The way it kept slipping off my shoulders was a huge turnoff for me. Which is why I changed the pattern and added REAL shoulders! This look is MUCH more comfortable, and still easy to make, too!
Don’t be intimidated, this pattern is geared toward beginners and is much easier than it looks!
