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

How to crochet an easy cocoon shrug using Tunisian crochet<\/h2>\n\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
