I was wearing my knit blanket cardigan one day when my mom was visiting. She fell in love with it, and asked me to make her a blanket cardigan to add to her wardrobe. It’s no surprise that we both love to be wrapped up in a blanket in all seasons, like mother like daughter. So I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to create a crochet blanket pattern to share here on the blog! I had a lot of Knit Picks Swish Worsted yarn, and some others in my stash that I was happy to use up.

I came up with the design on the fly, and it’s definitely become one of my favorite pieces. I need to make myself one now… pics coming soon! The crochet blanket cardigan is crocheted in two panels, then seamed together at the back. It drapes over the shoulder like a flowy ruana, while wrapping you up like a blanket! It is great for summer nights, or fall days over a long sleeve tee for an effortlessly chic look.
