 -Capullo-

Capullo is Spanish for “cocoon,” which is very fitting for this cocoon cardigan. I just love these types of cardigans, as
they make you feel like you're wearing a nice, warm blanket. The cardigan is a square that’s started at the center, and
then the edges are sewn together with a whip stitch, which leaves holes for the arms. A border is crocheted around the
new edges to create ribbing.

NOTES

• The sample for this pattern was crocheted with a four-skein color gradient, with Color A as the
bluest purple and Color D as the pinkest purple.
• NOTE: If you are making the Size M, you will need more than one skein of Color B. If you are
making sizes M-5XL, you may need to purchase more than one kit or purchase individual skeins,
as we do not break apart kits and sell the skeins separately.
• Starting ch for each round does not count as a stitch.
• Pattern is worked in the round with the Right Side always facing you.
• The two dc stitches at the beginning of each round are worked in the ch 2 space that's created at
the end of the previous round.
