Plush Blanket Cardigan (Knit)

The Plush Blanket Cardigan is a relaxed, throw-on layer designed for everyday wear. Knit in ultra-soft sherpa yarn, this open-front cardigan features a cocoon-style shape that feels like wearing a blanket—warm, comfortable, and easy to live in.

Short, knit-on sleeves are intentionally designed to sit at the forearm, making this a practical cardigan for daily activities. The cropped sleeve length keeps your hands free for working around the house, typing, cooking, or running errands, while still providing warmth through the shoulders and arms. Patch pockets add function and balance, and the simple stockinette construction allows the plush texture of the yarn to take center stage.

This approachable, fast-knit project features thoughtful shaping and flexible sizing, allowing makers to choose their preferred amount of ease. The forgiving nature of sherpa yarn makes finishing stress-free, and the relaxed silhouette makes this a cozy, wearable layering piece you’ll reach for again and again.
