Welcome baby into our world with this cozy and warm cocoon and blanket wrap. It is sized for preemies and newborns up to 3 months old. Your little one will be a vision of sweetness in this combination plush butterfly cocoon with head rest and cuddly blanket wrap. This pattern works up very quickly with bulky yarn. Bulky yarn can be challenging to work with but with a little patience, you can do it. The trick is to feel the yarn with your fingers as you work and count as you work. (The yarn is very forgiving if you miss a stitch because of the thickness)
Use any colors you prefer. Match it to baby’s nursery.

The end result is worth the try. This makes a unique baby shower or new baby gift
