The Castanet Cocoon Bag is a clever, two-in-one project that’s perfect for summer! It’s both a stylish shawl and a handy bag for carrying your essentials—whether you’re off to the beach or the market. The beauty of this design lies in its simplicity: it’s just a basic rectangle! But the real magic happens in the stitching. The shape is formed by changing up the length of the chains between single crochets, using a pattern based on the Fibonacci Sequence—a fascinating mathematical concept found everywhere from art to nature. So, not only is it functional, but it’s also a little bit of a math geek’s dream!

Fibonacci Sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55
