DIY Crochet Top Cozy Couch Sweater Pattern

"Fall is finally here along with some amazing new Fall patterns. One of the patterns that stands out the most this season is this beautiful shrug sweater. The design is really creative. You can start by crocheting a basic rectangle. With some strategically placed seams, this simple shape turns into a beautifully draped shrug. It's flattering and cozy, and perfect for strolling amongst the changing leaves. One of my favorite details on this cozy sweater is the use of the delicate spider stitch. The whole base of the sweater is crocheted using it, and is surrounded by a subtle border."

Whether you're cozying up on the couch or hitting up the local theater, this Movie Night Cocoon Cardgani is the perfect addition to your ensemble.
Like the hug of a blanket, this shrug-style cardigan comfortably drapes over your shoulders for that extra bit of warmth.
Work it in a lightweight cotton for summer nights or a chunkier wool for cooler temperatures - this same pattern can be used for multiple weights!

"This cardigan uses simple repeats and increases to create an easy to follow pattern that also allows for plenty of room to customize your piece. It is sized for XS - XL but can be made to fit your unique figure using just a few additional stitch increases, or by adding rows. The cropped length definitely makes this cardigan a quick piece, and making it in smaller panels gives you a great sense of accomplishment in a shorter period of time! It is a great piece for winter as the dense stitch pattern and bulky yarn make it super warm and cozy. It is a great piece for transitioning into spring as you can layer it over a dress for warmth on cool mornings or evenings, and keeping it open allows for extra breathability if needed. I've loved wearing it with jeans and tank tops, long sleeve shirts, and even with a few of my favorite dresses (with tights since there is at least a little winter weather lately)!"
