The Plush Blanket Cardigan is a cozy, throw-on knit cardigan designed for everyday comfort and ease. Made with soft, lofty sherpa yarn, this relaxed, open-front cardigan has a cocoon-style shape that feels like wrapping up in a blanket—warm, comfortable, and effortless to wear.

Short, knit-on sleeves are intentionally designed to sit at the forearm, making this a practical piece for real life. 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 pattern is an approachable, fast-knit project with thoughtful shaping and flexible sizing. The forgiving nature of sherpa yarn makes finishing stress-free, and the relaxed fit allows you to choose your size based on the amount of ease you prefer. Whether you’re lounging at home or layering up on chilly days, the Plush Blanket Cardigan is a warm, wearable knit you’ll reach for again and again.
