Crochet Blanket Cardigan
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 incredibly warm 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.

PLEEEEASE make a video!!!
That yarn has been discontinued and I don’t have any in stock to make a video. I’m sorry.
Miley …. I don’t think the yarn matters … people seem confused by the stitch … someone commented that she doesn’t understand what you mean by the horizontal bar. Some of us are visual learners …. so any yarn demonstrating three short rows would do ….
Here’s a demonstration we have for the Horizontal Bar. This Stitch Appears in the Highline Super Scarf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEbj9M0yS-g

Please film! I don’t know how to crochet without your amazing videos!

Need a tutorial (video) because I don’t understand the horizontal bar?
LOve this! Is there a way to make it larger? Thank you
Why am I not finding the pattern? Sorry
Click on the pink “Get Pattern” button to see the written instructions.
I would love a tutorial about this pattern. Could anyone help me: The link doesn’t let me download the pattern. Thanks!
I not sure why your link it not working. I just tested it and it took me right to the pattern.
I’m completely confused on how to fold it to make the sleeves and wear it. ? I’m an avid pattern reader too. I just don’t get it. Please help!?
Yes, a video especially for beginners. I have a lot of questions.
Yes please on a tutorial! Is love to make this the first thing I make that I can wear!
Don’t think I would need a tutorial but I am not sure how to form the ‘sleeves’. Is there a diagram to show how to lay out the rectangle and fold it and where to sew?
Jeanne – is it foundation corner to foundation corner to create the sleeve or foundation corner to last row corner?
I believe it’s foundation to last row.
Please film a tutorial.
YES On the tutorial 🙂
Oh yes I would like to have it. Thanks Mikey
Love it please make a tutorial. Feel better Mikey
yes please Mikey do a tutorial for the blanket cardigan thanks for all your tutorials much love to you both
yes for me it is easier since I am a visual learner
A tutorial would be wonderful!!
I’m not sure on a whole tutorial but I would like a short snippet of a visual of where the hook goes in. I have a general idea but it would be appreciated! As I understand, Mikey is super sick so focus on that!
No on the tutorial. With the diagram, it is simple enough.
it’s pretty simple but maybe you could do a quickie tutorial demonstrating the stitch; where to put your hook into the hdc.
I love this pattern but would need a plus size pattern. I this possible?
Yes on the tutorial! Thanks for the pattern!
