Baby cocoon patterns are perfect for swaddling baby. Crochet designer Kara Cardella explains: "This baby cocoon has an attached, hinged rectangle that can be cinched tight to swaddle your wee one. The rectangle can be folded down for the smallest of newborns and the chunky yarn has nylon that gives it a nice stretch as your baby grows."

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.
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.
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.
