Crisp autumn air tickles my nose as I pull my cardigan a little closer around me. My husband slips his arm around my shoulder in a tight side hug as we stand looking over the Appalachian mountains. That sunset, that deep fade of blush into an almost purple hue - that is why the song says “purple mountains majesty!” Valle Crucis, the home of alpacas, mountain folk, and glorious sunsets provided the inspiration for this end-of-summer cocoon style cardigan.

Fashion potential

I’ve been wearing my Valle Crucis Cocoon Cardigan non-stop these days! I wear it over my leggings and tshirt on my morning stumble to the coffee pot, with my jeans and short sleeved turtleneck to run errands around town, or even over a dress to go on a date with my husband (ok, run more errands, but grab burgers while we are at it)! The Valle Crucis Cocoon Cardi crochet pattern has endless fashion opportunities, I can’t wait to try it with a skirt and boots, or boots and jeans (also, I really love wearing boots, ok?).

Check out this reel on Instagram where I showed off several ways you can style this amazing crochet cardigan. Also, check out that drape and how it moves!! I love it so much!!

🍁ONE MORE DAY!!🍁 Tomorrow the Valle Crucis Cardi will be released into the world and you can make your very own autumn yarn hug! . . I love that this cardi can take me from "I need more coffee," to "cool busy mom" to "hubs and I are going to dinner"! . . Speaking of dates, seems like we usually end up at our favorite burger place and running to Target for formula and diapers on most of our dates. But we like sharing the small moments together, so we don't mind! . . What does an ideal autumn date look like for you? . . Also, did you catch the sneak peek of the San Fior Pumpkin? Turns out I'm bad at catching. 😂😂 . . #yarnaddiction #fallfiber #fallfashion #fallcrochet #crochetfashion #makerfashion #slowfashiondesigner #handmade #handcrafted #indiedesigner #makerlife #momlife #crochetcardi #crochetpumpkin #pumpkinspicelife #crochetallthethings #chunkyknitsweater #cozyfallfashion #makergonnamake #crochetmomlife #crochetlife #igcrochet #crochetinspiration #inspiringwomen #coffeeandcrochet #rebekahhaascrochet #wecrochet #mycrochetlife

Materials

Making an oversized garment can be a bit intimidating for a beginner crocheter, so when I planned out this pattern, I wanted to take the stress out of the garment making as much as possible. I started by picking a bulky/5 weight yarn. Bulky yarn works up much faster than worsted or dk yarns. However, I often find that bulky yarn lacks the delicate drape that is achieved with lighter weight yarns, so I selected a cotton yarn. The We Crochet Billow yarn is 100% cotton - the softest pima cotton imaginable! It works up like a dream with little to no splitting. The drape on this garment is stunning and I love it sooo much! The cotton yarn also makes this a lighter sweater for those of us who tend to have warmer fall weather. Summer lasts a loooooong time in the south!
