Make your own Tunisian crochet Comfy Cocoon Shrug<\/strong>, the perfect easy and breezy cardigan for Spring and Summer!<\/p>\n\n\n When you’re new to crocheting garments, there are a lot of things that can be intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, there’s the gauge<\/strong> to take into account, and how to crochet something that really fits you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behind gauge and making clothes that fit, there’s the right choice of yarn<\/strong>, understanding the different shapes<\/strong> of clothing, how to adapt them to different body types, and getting a nice drape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, yes, crocheting garments can be quite intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why it’s good to start with something easy peasy like this Comfy Cocoon Shrug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cocoons are some of the easiest garments you can crochet, and if you can crochet a blanket, you can be sure that you’ll definitely be able to crochet a shrug as well!<\/p>\n\n\n For making a Tunisian crochet cocoon cardigan, all you need to make is actually just a square or rectangle<\/strong> and fold it the right way to transform it into a cardigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll find more info about the construction<\/a> further down in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, all you need to do is to grab your Tunisian crochet hook<\/strong> and some yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since we’ll need to fit the entire piece on the hook, it’s important to have a Tunisian crochet hook with a cord extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideally, you can use any Tunisian crochet stitch<\/a> for your shrug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, many Tunisian stitches can be quite bulky and solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why for my Spring shrug, I chose to use the Tunisian Top Loop Stitch (Ttls)<\/a>, which creates a lightweight<\/strong> fabric with the perfect drape<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n Find more easy crochet garments<\/a> here on the blog…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Add this pattern to your Ravelry queue HERE<\/strong><\/a> or save it on Pinterest using this Pin<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n Note: this post contains affiliate links.
