Baby Cocoon and Matching Hat

Made the adorable little cocoon and hat for my new grandbaby using Red Heart Buttercup yarn.  The pattern is available from this link http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/baby-cocoon

It didn't take long to crochet but the yarn is so thick, it can be a challenge to get started as you can't readily count your stitches.

But the end result is so soft and cuddly, it's well worth the initial struggle.  This is a great gift for any newborn.

(P.S.  No Teddy Bears were harmed in the posing and photographing of this picture.)
