Instructions:
This cocoon is made for a 20-inch-long baby. The finished length from bottom to top of
cocoon measures 16 inches, assuming that the baby will not be laying perfectly
stretched out. To increase the length,
add more rounds between rounds 5-14.
Likewise, to decrease the length, leave out rounds between the same
area. Each round/row measures about (a ½ inch tall).
The cocoon is worked in rounds for the first half, so I advise using a
stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.
Rnd 1: In magic circle, sc, hdc, 8 dc (10)
Rnd 2: Inc around (20)
Rnd 3: inc every other st (30)
Rnd 4: inc every 3rd st (40)
Rnd 5: (sk 1 st, 2 dc in next st) around.
Rnd 6-14: (2 dc in space between clusters of last round)
around.
From row 15 until the end, we will be working back and forth
in ROWS
Row 15-22: ch 3 and turn, (2 dc in space between clusters of
last round) until you reach the beginning of row (do not attach)
Row 23: ch 3 and turn, (2 hdc in space between clusters) 16
times, (2 sc in space between clusters) 3 times, (sc, sl st) in last space to
finish
Finishing: With slit to the left, fold rows 15-23 down
toward bottom of cocoon and sew into place.
Attach buttons to fold for looks.
Alternatively, you can attach buttons underneath the flap and squeeze
them through the holes, securing the flap in place with the buttons.
