Free Crochet Cocoon Pattern!!!
Introducing, the Celia Cocoon!!! I am SO excited to finally be releasing the Celia Cocoon! I had so much fun designing this Free Crochet Cocoon Pattern! I really wanted to use a stitch that would work up fast and create an interesting fabric with a flattering drape. I think that this stitch combination does just that and I couldn’t be happier with the result! I hope you love this Free Crochet Cocoon Pattern for Celia as much as I do!

Hi, I just started this and I am using shawl in a ball and a G hook. I made my swatch and that seems to be a good match. Anyway I'm making the xs size and I made it 35" but it looks so small. I was wondering is the trim going to make the difference in sizing. My neice is a petite girl but this just looks so small compared to your picture.
