This Crochet Baby Cocoon and Hat set is a great, basic pattern to add to your collection for last minute baby gifts! I say this is a perfect last minute baby gift because I myself made "last minute" for me!  My son was due in early April, and I didn't start this project until late March when I was incredibly sleep deprived and NOT very productive.  Believe me, if I could do it....you can do it!

So why aren't there any pictures of a cute snuggly newborn bundled up in this cozy cocoon?  It's certainly not because of the weather when my son was born (SNOWING in early April...).  Nope, there are no pictures of him wearing this because he was born quite a bit larger than your average newborn.  10lb 1oz to be exact!  So if mama is expecting a large baby - make sure to adjust the size! Haha.

Instructions

Round 1: ch 2, 10 DC in magic circle (10)

Round 2: ch 2, 2 DC in each st around (20)

Tie off yarn and weave in ends.  Cut a piece of yarn about 18 inches long.  Tie it in the center of the cocoon at the top (around the post of a SC stitch).  Make a small pom pom with a pom pom maker, and use one end of this piece of yarn to tie the center.  Repeat for the other end of the piece of yarn so that you have two pom poms.  Trim any excess yarn to make the pom poms even.
