Embarker Cocoon Cardigan

"I just love cozying up in this cardigan! It’s simple construction and repeating diamond moss stitch create a fun project that you’ll be enjoying all winter. It's knit in a rectangle, folded in half lengthwise and seamed on the sides to create the classic cocoon construction. This kind of cardigan is great for newbie sweater makers because of its simplicity. The diamond moss stitch creates a great texture that's timeless. "
