10 free stylish crochet cardigans is a list of the best crochet patterns perfect for making your own garments.

---

I was so excited to find out that my best friend from college was moving closer to our house. We were inseparable during our time at the college but as it happens our paths separated after. I couldn’t get enough of those times when we were just hanging around together, she was like the sister I never had.

Their car pulled up outside our house and I felt like a kid at Christmas waiting for Santa to come with all the presents. She stepped out of the car and I instantly recognised that cheeky grin she used to pull.

We run towards each other like in a cheesy movie and gave each other the tightest squeeze. It reminded me of the hug we gave each other on the last day of the college before we said our goodbyes.

Crochet cardigans were keeping them warm on a trip down the memory lane

Time flies when you’re having fun and before we know it’s gone dark. The crackling fire is warming up our legs. We sit close, shoulder to shoulder talking about times old and new. The toasted marshmallows are sending a sweet smell towards us. 

I run back into the house to grab a couple of crochet cardigans to keep our shoulders warm.

“I love these” she says.

“I’ve made them myself” I said. “I will show you! I couldn’t decide, these are the 10 stylish crochet cardigan patterns I found” I said pulling out the phone from my back pocket.

C2C Cocoon Shrug

You are going to love this crochet shrug! It is made with simple rectangles seamed together. The added details of crochet ribbing and collar finish off this simple crochet garment perfectly.

It is a perfect pattern for crocheters that struggle with seaming garments. The way this shrug is constructed means it requires minimal sewing.
