 | A few years ago my mom asked me to make a cocoon for a neighbor that was expecting her first girl. She wanted something that was kind of frilly but not too frilly. After searching online for hours I could not find one that I fell in love with. So I decided to make my own. Below is the pattern for the Dainty Cocoon. If you work this pattern up I would love to see pics. You can send them to my email, on Ravelry, on Facebook, or use #craftybunker Happy Crocheting! Please see Terms of Use when using this pattern!
