Where do you find the time to knit so many sweaters??? I think I have about 1000 yards of worsted in a blue, maybe I should give this pattern a shot.</p> <p>The skirt makes the second look a little edgier and dressier but I really like the casual version too. That red is a fantastic color on you also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488434 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:43:40 +0000 Keturah 1488434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My heart skipped a beat!! Such a gorgeous cardigan, and now I want to knit one for myself!<div><br /></div><div>I adore, adore, adore #4-5 on you! 3 is nice and fits for your daily lifestyle. But oh my gosh, that ladylike look is gorgeous on you! It's alluring, not too prim and stiff.&nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488430 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:39:12 +0000 donnat 1488430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is absolutely gorgeous!

Great cardigan! I also love your asymmetrical skirt. The way you've got it styled with the skinny belt makes the proportions perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488383 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:38:17 +0000 Anonymous 1488383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is lovely. &nbsp;Absolutely lovely. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488381 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:37:01 +0000 columbine(erin) 1488381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely deep color the cardigan is. I loved it with the red sandals but agree the cardigan looks great with a more structured outfit. I could imagine the cardi with skinnies and tall boots if it were cold weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488376 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:33:44 +0000 Angie 1488376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Burgundy. AMAZING cardi. WOW. You are soooo clever.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE #4 and #5. That's a typical Ladylike-Diana-Look. Killer. You own it, Queen Arty Eclectic and Queen Flutter Sleeve. Lots of design details going on at once, and it ALL works together in perfect harmony.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, you look fab in #3 too. But the skirt outfit stole my heart.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-outfits-with-a-handknit-cocoon-cardigan#post-1488357 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:19:34 +0000 Diana 1488357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually finished knitting this cocoon cardigan several months ago, but didn't get a chance to wear it out until this week since it doesn't fit under my coats. This week it's been hot out (in the 80's), but my lab is still freezing so I need to have a topper for indoors only.  The cardigan is perfect for that!</p> <p>I first wore it with a loose top, rolled up slim BF jeans, and chunky Naot sandals (1-3).  I wasn't totally satisfied with this iteration, especially in the front view as I thought it was a little too unstructured and boxy.</p> <p>So, I tried again today, with a more fitted outfit under the cardigan.  I started with my bobeau wrap-front tube skirt and lightweight floral top.  I added some waist definition with a skinny belt, and echoed the gold color of the belt with my gold sandals.  I am much happier with this iteration!  By the way, I didn't realize the cardi was on crooked in the back view photo here, but I think the asymmetrical line it makes there is kinda cool.</p> <p>Also added some extra detail photos of the cardigan for knitter types.<br /> Ravelry link: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/creature-comforts-cardi" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/project.....orts-cardi</a></p> <p>(1-3: handknit cardi, KUT jeans, Allsaints top, Naot sandals)<br /> (4-6: handknit cardi, Dorothy Perkins top, Bobeau skirt, Born sandals, Elliott Lucca backpack) </p>
