In response to some of the comments on this project I am currently working on a rewrite of this pattern. I will be grading the hat for sizes from newborn to adult xl and the cocoon will be graded for sizes newborn, 3 months and 6 months. I will have this new work test knitted and tech edited. The quality of the pattern will be much improved.

As this is going through the process of test knitting and tech editing I am offering the pattern for free with coupon code MUSICALTEST. This is so that when the final copy comes out it is easier for me to send an update to everyone who downloaded the pattern. When this pattern is completed it will be changed to $6.

I expect this pattern to be finished with testing and editing by the beginning of February. I will be publishing periodic updates as I work the update. Please consider this pattern in test knitting until I publish the final draft. I will happily consider anyone who downloads this and works on it to be a part of the test group and I would appreciate any feedback you may have. Please remember this is a rough draft. It has been tested several times, but it is a very old pattern that needs updating.

If you are interested in joining the testing group for discussion of the pattern please join at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1815328195345558/. I do not give deadlines or hound testers. If you join and are not able to knit the project, I will not bother you about it. I run easy going test groups where I invite as many people as possible to participate and I always end up with plenty of finished tests that I don’t have to stress about each one. I will be updating every one of my original patterns in this way, and I am currently designing a sweater to go with this set that will also be tested in this way. I appreciate your interest and support.
