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.

Tulip Hat and Cocoon

Tulip Hat and Cocoon

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.

Raspberry Stitch Cocoon

Raspberry Stitch Cocoon

Many crochet baby cocoon patterns use very simple stitches, which is fine, but it's also fun to play with more complex stitch patterns, which you'll have the opportunity to do here with raspberry stitch. Some people complain that openwork crochet baby cocoon patterns let baby's toes slip through, which won't happen with this design.

Snuggle Cuddle Cocoon

Snuggle Cuddle Cocoon

This precious baby cocoon crochet pattern is designed for newborns, but the original size was created for stillborn premature babies so that they could be buried in something special. This is another use of the baby cocoon that many people don't think of, but that can be helpful to the hearts of grieving parents. The unique construction of this pattern shows a buttoned alternative to many of the slip-on cocoon sacks.
