Notes:

This cocoon is knit flat, top down.

The number of cast-on stitches create the width {across your shoulders} of your cocoon

The number of rows are the length {neck to bum}. This one’s super easy to alter :)

Pattern, knit flat {back and forth}:

CO 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104 STS

Knit every row {garter stitch} until you’re desired length. {I’m 5’9” and I made mine 33”, this one has some weight to it, so it stretches a little when wearing it.}

BO using all knit stitches, loosely.

---

To create the “sleeves”:

Fold in half lengthwise. Sew up the short sides to create the arm holes.

On the left side, sew about 6” from the end up.

Repeat on the right side.

Bonus:

This one is ready to wear immediately… no blocking required! :)
