A big trend in baby photography right now uses knit props such as these little sacks known as baby cocoons. They’re basically just like really big hats that you can slide a baby into for adorable sleeping baby pictures. Add a little hat on the kiddo’s head and you’ve upped the “aww” factor considerably.
I’ve never bothered to knit one of these because it’s a project with such limited use, but I must admit they are pretty darn cute.
Lion Brand Yarn has two new patterns for these cuties, along with matching hats. The Sweet Dreams Cocoon is a spring delight in pastel colors, while the Lullaby and Goodnight version is pretty in dreamy blues. Both versions use Tweed Stripes yarn and a bit of Luxe Fur for trimming. Too cute!

How does one get the free cocoon pattern?
The links in the pattern still work. They go to kits so you can purchase the supplies or you can just download the pattern from there.
