Genesis cardigan crochet pattern

Stay snug as a bug in a cocoon-style cardigan! This starts as a giant rectangle and then you add a few rows for cuffs and trim, which makes it great for beginners. One size fits most, but the simple construction makes it easy to adjust the size as needed.

Despite the texture of this cap-sleeve cardigan, you won't waffle about this free pattern. Waffle stitch gives this sweater a chunky structure that's easy to wear, and the construction is all rectangles so you won't even have to worry about shaping. It also comes in sizes from infant through adult 5XL, so you have lots of options to choose from!

That's right, you can wear this crochet poncho four different ways. The addition of simple, stylish buttons opens up the possibilities for wear. The cabled edging is another special detail on this piece.

This crochet ruana pattern was designed to showcase the seven different colors of yarn in the Lion Brand Jeans yarn collection. It's made with a series of half double crochet rectangles. Some of them have bobbles on top, while others are left plain. The whole thing is cinched together with a simple crochet belt.

Use a crochet bobble stitch to create the geometric pattern on the front of this long, elegant poncho. The draping cowl neck further enhances the power of the design.
