[Free Pattern] Snuggle Bug Cocoon

By on March 4, 2015

A couple months ago I received a custom order request from a photographer for a very plush cocoon.  I headed to Jo-Ann’s (one of my favorite craft stores) to check out the gigantic yarn section. When I came across Bernat’s Softee Chunky Yarn I knew it would be the perfect fit. This yarn is so squishy and soft for a newborn baby. Actually, I wouldn’t mind a blanket in this yarn for myself…hmmm I might just have to do that…..
