It’s time to go retro with this cozy, fuzzy cropped cardigan! Can you believe it’s crochet? That’s the fun of this fuzzy yarn. It fluffs up and fills all the stitches, making a show-stopping piece that it looks like you bought!

One downside of this luscious yarn is that you can’t really see your stitches while you’re crocheting them! For advanced crocheters, this is a do-able challenge. But for beginners, it might be a little too tricky to fly blind while you’re crocheting.

Because of this, I recommend smoother, bulky-5 weight yarns like Bernat Velvet! Bernat Velvet is a great beginner alternative to the faux fur yarns and it’s what I demonstrated this pattern on in a helpful VIDEO TUTORIAL.
