I’m so excited to share this free crochet pattern for a Vintage Baby Cocoon with you. This snuggly and stylish design is perfect for wrapping up your little one in warmth and love, especially for those first precious photo moments or bringing baby home from the hospital.
This cocoon isn’t just cozy, it’s full of vintage charm.
It is complete with shabby rose trim, elastic lace on the white cocoon. The cream colored cocoon has a removable burlap bow clip, with lace and ribbon trims and a sweet clip with a piece of vintage jewelry in the center of the flower.
The ad free pdf includes a photo tutorial on how to embellish this cocoon that will help create that vintage vibe. Purchase the pattern at RAVELRY.
Why You’ll Love This Pattern
- Customizable Yarn Options: This pattern gives you great instructions on what kind of yarns to use.
- Simple yet Elegant Design: The crochet stitches are beginner-friendly, and there are tutorials to help you recreate those vintage touches.
- Attention to Detail: You will find measurements are included throughout the pattern, so you can create the perfect size for your little one. Again, I’ve added a tutorial on how to attach the shabby rose trim and make the removable vintage clip.
Special Features of This Pattern
- Shabby Rose Trim: This delightful trim adds a touch of elegance and vintage charm. It’s easy to find at craft stores, and easy to apply.
- The Burlap bow with a flower is actually a clip! You can remove it for washing or swap it out for other decorative clips to match different themes or outfits.
- Photo-Friendly Design: This cocoon is not only practical but also ideal for newborn photography. The unique details and cozy look make it a perfect prop. I love to crochet infant items. I have several crochet patterns for baby here on this blog. The Over Brook Baby set was the latest design and it has a vintage feel. It includes a little dress with a lace collar, a baby hat with the same lace trim and a pair of bloomers.
