Super Chunky Cocoon Photo Prop - Free Crochet Pattern

Hey howdy hey peeps!

Today I have my very first photography prop crochet pattern for you all. It is a super chunky cocoon. Very easy to make, a little time consuming because of the size but it goes fast enough while your watching TV or some such.

You will need:
2 strands of yarn: I used DK weight yarn,  green variegated and dark blue. The dark blue was a mystery yarn and seemed a little thicker then the other DK, but not quite thick enough for worsted, but you could probably use one dk and one worsted without any problems.
10mm hook
needle for sewing in ends
measuring tape.

Super Chunky Cocoon: Newborn
American terms used throughout.


R1. ch3, dc into 1st ch 9 times, join.
R2. ch3, dc in the same space *dc in the next, 2dc in the next stitch* Repeat around, join.
R3 - R4 Repeat R2
R5. ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
Repeat R5 until piece measures 15 inches in total length.
Forming the top: (if you are using solid colours and want the top different, this is a good place to join another colour)
R1. ch1, sc around, join
R2 - R4 Repeat R1.

Fasten off and weave in ends. There you go, you have just made your very own thick and soft cocoon! Remember, when using this as a prop, baby should NEVER be left unattended!
