How do you knit a cocoon for a premature baby?
('Why preemie-specific sizing', 'Standard newborn patterns are often too large for premature babies. This set is sized specifically for preemies, with a soft, lightweight yarn gentle on delicate skin.')
('Materials', 'A soft fingering or sport weight yarn (cotton or bamboo blends are popular for sensitive skin), small needles, and a yarn needle.')
('Construction overview', 'The cocoon is worked in the round from the bottom up, with a simple ribbed hat worked separately to match.')
Key Takeaways
- Preemie-specific sizing
- Lightweight, skin-friendly yarn
- Sleep sack + matching hat
