The Viola Cocoon Cardigan is a warm, textured crochet garment designed for comfort, style, and easy customization. Worked flat in one large piece and folded into shape, it uses modified sedge stitch to create a dense, cozy fabric that drapes beautifully and feels soft and substantial.
This pattern is beginner-friendly and ideal for those looking to try their first garment. The construction is simple and intuitive - no increasing or decreasing - with ribbed cuffs and collar added at the end for a polished finish. The oversized fit can be easily adjusted by changing the number of rows or chains, and the pattern includes detailed guidance for customization.
The sample is made using Hobbii Cascata - a medium-weight yarn in a cotton-acrylic blend with gentle color transitions. It gives the cardigan warmth without heaviness and makes it suitable for early autumn and colder seasons.
What’s included in the pattern:
– Full written instructions in English (US crochet terms)
– Sizes XS–5XL with detailed dimensions
– Customization notes for width, length, and fit
– Photo guides for key construction and finishing steps
– Clear instructions for ribbed cuffs and collar
Whether you prefer a snug or oversized fit, Viola offers flexibility and timeless style in a satisfying, beginner-friendly project.
