Crochet baby cocoon free pattern
Crochet baby cocoon is such a cute and beautiful way of keeping the little ones warm and cozy.
It was so much fun making this crochet cocoon for my baby and he absolutely loves it. He has outgrown this crochet cocoon now; I am hoping to make him another one hopefully very soon.
This baby cocoon pattern is actually the second made especially for my baby. The first is this beautiful fluffy baby sleeping bag.
I love that this crochet cocoon can also double as a baby stroller blanket. I have added buttons to make the conversion much easier.
Not only would the added buttons make the conversion easier, but it’s also super helpful when changing a baby’s diapers or pants during naps or sleeps. You just undo a few buttons and untie the knot!
The crochet cocoon is a free pattern here on the blog. You can get the ad-free pattern on Ravelry or Etsy.
