Repeat rows and increase as needed to create the desired size for the cocoon. This pattern’s unique construction results in a slip-on cocoon sack with a buttoned alternative for added versatility. Use stitch markers to keep track of your stitches and the last stitch (last st) in each round.

I made this cozy football cocoon for a friend with a baby boy. She went to the University of Michigan, and I wanted to make the Blue and Yellow Michigan colors. You can change up the colors to match your football team if you like.
