++++++++++++

I saw this cocoon pattern for sale, but it was out of my price range so I made it up myself. Afterward, I decided to try it as a button-up so made my “Pretty Cocoon with Button Band”.

The pattern is done in groups of 10. Directions for the butterfly stitch can be found here.

The stitch is also found in Love of Kniting, Spring 2013, Page 68.

Cast on 93 for bulky yarn. Then reduce to 90 when you start the butterfly pattern (you can do this over the first couple rows).

For the cap, I just knitted a regular baby stocking hat and then added the butterfly design to it.
