Amazing! I love that this cardigan is made essentially with granny squares. These squares are really exquisite and I can not wait to start this pattern. The modifications are within the directions for my size and that is always a plus. Now I have to scour the internet looking for the material at a great price.

I have seen these but not one as pretty as this one. Yarnspirations just went above and beyond all the rest with this cardigan pattern. There is a video on this site https://www.yarnspirations.com/patons-coziest-crochet-cardigan/PAC0128-001968M.html

This is one of those extremely easy to make cocoon cardigans that are basically just a huge rectangle or square that is seamed for the armholes and then crocheted around. I like that this one uses granny squares joined together to make the big rectangle. I think this would be really comfortable and perfect for cold days that you just want to lounge around and be warm.

This is the perfect topper/sweater for those days when you just want to sit in and cozy up with a latte and the latest crochet project! But first, I would have to make this for myself. Really liking the neutrals used here. Pairing this with jeggings or jeans would look great.
