It creates a squishy, loose, blanket like fabric using the stockinette stitch for the main portion and seed stitch for the edging. This beginner friendly, over-sized blanket sweater is made by knitting a basic rectangle on large needles while holding two strands of chunky Lion Brand Woolspun yarn together. Knit Blanket Sweater (Cacoon) Pattern Explanation: Friends, you will find the written pattern below and be sure to scroll down to see the pictures which may help you along as well. I’ve spared you the shots of me with a hair tornado and my eyes and mouth closed tightly in fear of dust particles. Props to my hub for getting some decent pictures on a VERY windy day. Teeny tiny yarn and I don’t get along too well. It also works up faster than teeny tiny yarn. What is my deal?! I love this Woolspun yarn because it’s soft and it’s chunky so it looks cool and feels lovely. Have we noticed that I get on major yarn kicks? Do you do the same? For a while it was the Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick and now it’s the Woolspun.
The sweater is made by using large US Size 19 knitting needles and holding two strands of chunky yarn together. Because of this, it works up pretty quickly and the two strands of yarn lend a neat texture to the top.

Like so many of my projects, if you know how to knit and purl, you can certainly make this cozy wearable blanket. My latest yarn fave – Lion’s Pride Woolspun Yarn They also have a lovely cream color available as well. While they don’t have the linen color, I do love the colors shown above. Above, you can see a couple of my favorite color options. The Woolspun had only 127 yards per skein, so you will get away with purchasing fewer skeins to make this. The only change will be in the number of skeins you will need as Color Made Easy has 247 yards per skein and 200 grams. It is the same weight as the Woolspun, a chunky #5 yarn, so you can simply follow the pattern as written. This particular yarn is actually a 100% acrylic, so you don’t need to worry if you’ve got an allergy to wool. However, there is now this great substitute which is the Color Made Easy Yarn (HERE).
Like I just mentioned, Woolspun was discontinued and it’s sometimes difficult to find a good chunky weight yarn sub. Though the original yarn was discontinued for this top, there is now a perfectly comparable chunky yarn from Lion Brand HERE called Color Made Easy (pictured above)!

It’s a loose, drapey knit too which gives it a casual look I think. This is definitely a statement piece and I can imagine wearing it during the winter, curled up by the fire with a cup of tea. These buttons keep this top in it’s place so I really like them.

Anyway, after some major trial and error (and late nights of knitting like a crazy), here’s the knit blanket sweater! It is a HEAVY blanket like cocoon! In keeping this cocoon easy and oversized, I went with stockinette stitch and made it quite big. I also added the two buttons to the top just like the crocheted version. My Summer Vacation Knit Top, for instance, was much, MUCH smaller. I haven’t made a lot of knit tops before and the ones that I have made were smaller than this. Hi friends! This pattern has been super popular but it needed a little updating! After I posted the crocheted “Easy Blanket Sweater” pattern, I received several requests to make a knit version.
