![Something for the Twins [S.O.P. Series]](https://i0.wp.com/www.tugboatyarning.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/CutieTwinBabyCocoons.jpg?resize=670%2C300&ssl=1 "Something for the Twins [S.O.P. Series]")
I first need to clarify that H-G Hope Baby is a singular child floating around in my womb. I am not having two, despite the chances being higher in my family tree. This pattern I’ll be sharing is for other people that are having twins. Or if you want to make a simple baby cocoon, follow the pattern and tweak the emblem so it’s just for one adorable baby instead of two. So just to say again: I AM NOT HAVING TWINS; I’m only waddling for one.
CUTIE TWIN BABY COCOONS & HATS
Materials
- Worsted Weight Yarn
- Crochet Hook Size I (I for “ice cream”)
- Darning Needle (for weaving in ends)
Abbreviations
- r = row
- ch = chain
- st = stitch
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- *instructions* = repeat around
Cocoon Base
R1: With red yarn ch 3, sl st to join into ring, ch 2, 12 dc’s into ring, sl st to first dc to join (12).
R2: ch 2, 2 dc’s in ea st around, sl st to first dc to join (24).
R3: ch 2, *1 dc in first, 2 dc in second*, sl st to first dc to join (36).
R4: ch 2, *1 dc in first and second st, 2 dc in third st*, sl st to first dc to join (48).
R5: ch 2, *1 dc in first three st’s, 2 dc in forth st*, sl st to first dc to join (60).
R6 – R25: do not ch so be sure to use a marker to keep track of your rows, dc’s around in ea st around. On final R25, follow the round with 1 hdc in next, then 1 sc in next, and sl st in next – this will help even out the row as you come close to the end.

Hey Maggie,
I have a question about row 4 under circular ensemble, it reads *1 hdc in first and second, 2 hdc’s in second*, reapeat all the way around (40) does that mean that I do 3 hdcs in 2nd or was that a mistake and you meant for the 2 hdcs to be in the 3rd? confused???
Hi Susanne! Yep, you caught an error. Sorry about that! I’ve fixed it in the post now, but row four should read as follows:
R4: *1 hdc in first and second, 2 hdc’s in third* repeat all the way around (40).
Just finished the cocoon and hat except for the wording..how did you do that?
Hi Laura! I used a technique called “slip stitch embroidery” or “crochet embroidery” where you basically slip stitch across a finished piece. You can find a post I did about it here: https://www.tugboatyarning.com/slipstitch-embroidery/ Otherwise, you can just use a darning needle and stitch the letters, too. However works best for you! Good luck! ~Maggie
