Hello lovlies,
I did say I would have more very small crocheted cocoons this month, and here is number 2. The Petite. Designed with a gathered bottom, button up top and a head rest. this cocoon will gently wrap a baby of 14-16 weeks gestation. My completed cocoon measures 7 inches from the top of the headrest to the bottom, and just over 3 inches wide.
This cocoon is simple to make, and shouldn't take very long to complete. It looks equally good other colours.

1 small button

Take the ribbon and weave the yarn in and out of the stitches in the first row and pull tight to gather, make a bow.

The 7 dc go in the same stitch right in the middle
Deletedoes anyone know how big this is suppose to come out to. I used the fingering yarn and a 4.00 and it came out as big as my palm???
ReplyDeleteThat is how big it is supposed to be. It is for babies born at 14-16 weeks gestation.
DeleteI have a question, in rows 7-13, should the stitch count be 27 or 29? The row before it was 29 and you hdc in each stitch.
ReplyDelete29. Sorry that's a typo I'll get that sorted :)
DeleteDo you have pattern to make this bigger like size 3'6 month. Baby expected in January and estimated weight to be over 10 lbs. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern does not make any sense. There are several mistakes in it. In row 6 you are suppose to have 29 stitches, then in 7-13 it goes back to 27 stitches. How does that happen when you are crocheting half double stitches in each stitch across. Then in row 14 what are we suppose to do for that row. It isn't clear.
ReplyDeleteCool your jets, turbo. There is one mistake, the stitch count for rows 7-13 is 29. For row 14 slip stitch the first 11, this is so you don't add any height as you move to the back/hood portion. HDC in the same st as the last slip st and in the next 8. The row will end before the end of the previous row since, again, you are now working on the hood. Chain, turn, and work in the 9 HDC only for the remaining rows.
