Comfort and Joy is a super-chunky, oversized, top-down raglan crochet cardigan pattern. With the option to add pockets and buttons, it’s perfect for cosy comfort on the sofa or a layer of warmth out in the wide world.

Skills
This is a relatively simple, beginner friendly crochet cardigan pattern using (US) single crochet and chains for the body and half double crochet for the hem and cuffs. It is worked top down so you can try it on as you go. The pattern includes a chart showing the first 8 rows of the rectangular yoke to help you get started.

Materials
You will need 480m - 930, super chunky yarn, depending on size chosen, and a 12mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
The cardigan you see pictured is a size Small and used Lionbrand Hometown USA in Huston Cream.
There is a lot of variation in within the super chunky yarn weight category so I have given some additional guidance in the pattern for choosing substitutions.

Sizing
The cardigan pattern is written in 7 sizes from XS - 3XL in (finished bust 98cm-159cm). It is an oversized design with about 20cm / 8in of positive ease in the body, so if you want something more fitted you could size down. The pattern includes a table and schematic showing approximate measurements of the finished cardigan to help you choose your size. Guidance is given throughout for making simple adjustments.

The pattern is written in English using standard US crochet terminology
