So I've been making a ton of these cocoons as part of a set for a baby candy corn set. I thought I'd share the basic pattern with you, and you can use it for a ton of different ideas. First, I like to use a magic circle so if you don't you can also use a chain 2 and sl st into the first chain and chain 2. I do not use my starting ch-2 as a stitch. I like it there to fill in a bit so you don't have any gaps in the row. I didn't add the color change so you can decide where that would be or perhaps not at all if you just want a one color cocoon! Note also you can make more or less rows if you're making for a preemie or a very big baby.
J hook
Worsted weight 4 yarn
Row 1: Magic circle, chain 2, and place 12 dc in circle. Tighten circle and sl st to first dc.
Row 2: Chain 2, and place 2 dc in each stitch around. Sl st to first dc.
Row 3: Chain 2 and place 2 dc in the same stitch as sl st. *Dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat from * to * around. Sl st to first dc.
Row 4: Chain 2, and place 2 dc in the same stitch as sl st. *Dc in next 3 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat from * to * around. Dc in last stitch. Sl st to first dc.
Row 5: Chain 2, and place 2 dc in same stitch as sl st. *Dc in next 4 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat from * to * around. Dc in last stitches. Sl st to first dc.
Row 6-27: Chain 2, dc in each stitch around. Sl st to first dc.
Row 28: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around. Sl st to first sc. Fasten off and weave in ends because you're done!
