In addition to animals, flowers are a frequent source of inspiration for baby cocoon patterns. Anne Geddes photography has surely been a large reason for this. Here is a tulip crochet baby cocoon pattern that combines a fairly simple bottom with a detailed floral hat. This one is a great choice for photographing babies in spring and summer, although if you adjust the colors, it's a design that could be used year-round.
Tulip Hat and Cocoon by Tiny Pushes
Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit
I got my start as a designer in the photography prop industry. It was soon after I had my first son I loved anything newborn related. By the time I had my second son, I had such a passion for newborn photography that I had become a newborn photographer. While I no longer take photography clients, I still enjoy designing newborn props. It's also nostalgia for when mine were so little. If I could reverse time, I would put my baby boys in this cuddly Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit outfit. You don't have to be little to enjoy this penguin stuffy! He is cute for holiday decor or to just have around. And of course, I think he makes a great gift for all ages.
Easter Cocoon
Crochet baby cocoons are popular choices for making costumes and photo props for babies. Very young babies often sleep through their earliest photos but parents still want those cute images to share with others on the holidays; baby cocoons add that element of sweetness even when the baby is asleep. This crochet pattern is for a cocoon in chevron stitch made using springtime colors and a matching baby chick crochet hat pattern. Make the cocoon in other colors without the hat to use this pattern all year round.
Crochet Mermaid Tail for Babies and Children
An adorable crochet mermaid tail is the perfect choice for a baby's first costume or summer photos. As they get a little older, young children also enjoy playing dress-up with this type of outfit. This crochet pattern covers all of those bases, because it is available in eight sizes from newborn through approximately age 5.
There are two styles to the pattern. Most of them have a bikini top that matches the mermaid tail, which is fairly classic for this type of design. However, the smallest sizes comes as a one-piece with the faux bikini top attached, because this slips more easily over a fussy newborn to quickly take photos. It's a practical twist made by a smart designer.
The bikini tops for this pattern have a cute floral design. As a bonus, there is a matching floral crochet headband pattern for all ages.
Lion Cocoon
We'd be lyin' if we said we didn't love this truly adorable baby cocoon pattern. This cocoon is for photography purposes only, so stitch up this cocoon for baby's first Halloween or baby's first photoshoot. You can purchase this pattern on Etsy.
Cuddly Crochet Cable Baby Cocoon
When you think of items for a baby's layette, you likely picture an assortment of onesies and sweaters. But what about creating a crochet baby cocoon the next time you are invited to a baby shower? With the Cuddly Crochet Cable Baby Cocoon, the new arrival will enjoy being cuddled in this timeless and elegant accessory. This pattern is also a great use of the popular crochet cable stitch. The new parents will love receiving such a beautiful and stylish addition to their little one's wardrobe, too, and will love incorporating the cocoon in the baby's first professional photos.
