This cocoon-like cardigan is easy to throw on over most anything you might be wearing – pjs included! It’s intended to be quite oversized and blanket-like, perfect for snuggling into but also looking like you just stepped off a sweater show runway.

It’s knit sideways in one piece, with the lower edging added along the side of the back after the main piece is done. The collar features a reversible cable with ribbing, so it looks great no matter how it’s folded. Two small seams finish off this sweater whose construction is simpler than you think.

Most of the photos show the collar worn as intended – up and around the back neck. But turn this baby upside-down if you like for a different look and a longer cardigan (see pic below)!
