Caron Chunky Cakes is the hottest new yarn in the Cake family to hit Michaels. This super cute, easy-to-make Blanket Cardigan has just been released and has jumped right near the top of my personal to-do list! It looks hot and cozy. Perfect for a chilly winter day.
This simple pattern uses the concept of a rectangle made from half double crochet into the horizontal bar. It really creates the next texture. Here is a simple diagram to demonstrate:
After it's done, it's a simple fold to create the armholes and you are ready to go. It's a great beginner project to get started with crocheted clothing.
Mikey is undecided at this time on whether or not to film a tutorial. Leave him a yay or a nay in the comments below if you'd like him to film this one.

What is the approximate length of the chain of 66. You have to crochet till piece reaches approx 36 inch when slight stretch. Am trying to decide if I need to add to starting chain so will be longer from neck to bottom. Love the stitch for this.
Mikey says
I'm sorry. I don't know that information as the dimensions on the pattern were for the sizing and not length of chain itself. It will stretch as you wear it though.
