Material
Materials Needed
- Medium size 4 yarn
- 5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Creating the Base
- Create a Magic Ring: Pull the end of your yarn through a loop to make a magic ring. Chain one to secure the magic ring.
- Begin with Half Double Crochets:
- Chain two, which counts as the first half double crochet (HDC).
- Add 11 more HDCs into the ring, making a total of 12.
- Slip stitch into the very first chain and chain two for the next round.
Increasing Rounds
- Second Round:
- Work two HDCs into each chain around. With the initial two chains counted as a HDC, make 24 HDCs in total.
- Slip stitch to the first chain and chain two for the next round.
- Third Round:
- Alternate between one HDC in the first chain and two HDCs in the next chain, and repeat this pattern.
- Slip stitch at the end of the round and chain two for the next round.
- Fourth Round:
- Work one HDC in the next two chains, then two HDCs in the third chain. Repeat this pattern.
- Slip stitch at the end and chain two.
- Fifth Round:
- Make one HDC in the next three chains, followed by two HDCs in the fourth chain. Continue this pattern.
- Slip stitch to join and chain two.
- Sixth Round:
- Work one HDC in the next four chains and two HDCs in the fifth. Repeat throughout the round.
- Slip stitch to finish and chain two.
Trinity Stitch
- Trinity Stitch Rounds:
- Incorporate trinity stitches using HDCs by wrapping the hook and pulling loops through subsequent chains until seven loops are on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Chain one and continue this pattern for one complete round.
- Repeat:
- Continue the trinity stitch for an additional 20 rounds to measure the cocoon's length, ensuring it is stretchy and comfortable.
Creating the Drawstring Space
- Drawstring Spaces:
- After chain two, place double crochets (DC) in the next three chains, followed by chain one, skip one chain, and repeat three DCs.
- Repeat until round.
- Shell Stitch for Edge:
- Begin with a half double crochet in each gap, followed by three double crochets, then another half double crochet in the same space to form a shell stitch.
- Repeat each gap and slip stitch to finish the edge.
Final Touches
- Creating the Drawstring:
- Chain 190 for the drawstring, cut the yarn, and thread through the gaps in the cocoon top.
- Secure with a knot or beads at the drawstring ends.
