The cocoon wrap starts out as a big rectangle, but then you fold it and continue knitting to create armholes and a wide ribbed collar. What results is a cozy, versatile wrap. Worn one way, the fronts are shorter; worn upside down, the fronts become longer.

Skills Needed

General knitting skills.

Sizes

small (medium, large, x-large)

Finished measurements

Note: There is no fitted bust measurement. To determine your size, keep your upper arms pressed against your sides and measure your full circumference at bust level (around the outside of arms and body). Do not add any ease, use the actual measurement to determine size.

• Circumference at approx bust level: 41-45 (45-49, 49-53, 53-57)"
