Mosaic Cocoon Cardigan
"Learn how to turn two crochet rectangles into a shrug! Mosaic Cocoon Cardigan is crochet in two pieces with minimal sewing to join both pieces together and to create armholes. The crochet mosaic colorwork keeps the crocheting interesting and the ribbing gives the shrug a knit-look. It works up really quickly! Worked as two flat rectangles, the unique construction of this roomy cardi makes it a quick and fun crochet garment. The oversized shape flatters any body type. Whether paired with a tank, top or dress, Mosaic Cocoon Cardigan is effortless and stylish."
