Free Easy Crochet Cocoon Pattern

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!
