I have had SO many requests since starting my tutorials for wearable items. So in this post I bring you this stunning coverup which is SUPER easy to make! I’ll walk you through the pattern step by step so that you can create your own. I have used the stunning new yarn by Caron X Pantone. If you want to improve your pattern reading skills, then this is perfect for you. Simply download the FREE PDF print it out and follow along step-by-step with the tutorial. Crochet Cocoon by Caron Did you know there are LOADS of free patterns available designed with Caron x Pantone. CLICK HERE to check them out. The Yarn: Caron x Pantone The Crochet Cocoon is made using Caron x Pantone which is a chunky weight blend of acrylic, nylon and merino wool that’s easy to work up and machine-washable. Perfect for wearable items and accessories alike. I have created mine using Peach Blush Parfait, but I also think this would look great in Ultra Violet Minerals, Elephant Grey and Morning Blues. It can be completely customised to you! What’s your favourite colourway? Canon X Pantone Caron X Pantone Materials & tools Yarn: Caron X Pantone- XS/S/M (8 braids) L/XL/2XL (11 braids) 3/4/5/XL (14 braids) *ALTERNATIVE: This would also work up beautifully with Caron Simply Soft which has a brilliant range of colours.

I would suggest that you highlight any changes in terminology to help you through. I will also be pointing out the differences throughout the tutorial. Gauge It’s crucial with this project that you get your gauge correct due to the amount of yarn needed for the cocoon and the suggested braid amounts. Please make sure that you are doing a gauge swatch to get your measurements correct. You can adapt your hook size if you need to by sizing up or down to get the right gauge. crochet terms and abbreviations US Dc = Double crochet | UK Tc = Treble crochetUS Hdc = Half double crochet | UK Htr = Half Treble crochetUS Hdcbp = Half double crochet back post | UK Htcbp = Half treble crochet back postUS Hdcfp = Half double crochet front post | UK Htrbp = Half treble crochet front post Crochet Cocoon assisting tutorials See below for some helpful assisting tutorials to help you throughout this pattern. Joining the same colours As you will be using multiple Caron X Pantone braids, you will have to join your mini balls of yarn that you have made (instructions on how to deconstruct the braids can be found in the Crochet Cocoon video at the base of the post) I would highly recommend that you use the Magic Knot method. See the video below to learn the technique.

I’d love to download it. Can we try to get it to allow US crocheters the ability to download the pattern. Love the tutorial!

Any other options? Reply Dianna L Hartman April 29, 2019 at 12:33 am I agree. I tried yarn web site everything I can think of. Still no pattern. Please help Reply Emily April 28, 2019 at 1:35 pm Neither link to the free pattern loads for me. I get an “oops” page the same as in your Instagram story. I’ve tried both links multiple times. Is there any other way to get it besides the video?

Also if I was to substitute a different yarn bc I cannot afford to buy enough of the Pantone what would be the best gauge to use for a number 4 weight yarn? Reply Sarah-Jayne April 28, 2019 at 5:59 pm Try this link http://bit.ly/2mdv6J5 and search ‘Caron Cocoon’ in the top right x Reply Doreen April 28, 2019 at 11:44 pm It does not come up in the search. Other items, but not that one. I’d love to make this for the beach! Reply Angela April 28, 2019 at 9:17 pm Hello everyone! Just a note for those of us in the U.S. the link will not work and when you search for it, it will not pop up. You have to scroll to the very bottom of the love crochet website and click visit UK site. Once there you can search Caron Cocoon and it will pop right up! Just make sure you are in the UK site. Have a great day everyone! Reply Marty April 28, 2019 at 9:24 pm I can’t get the links to pull up the pattern. Reply Marty April 30, 2019 at 10:25 pm I got it now, thank you very much. Reply Cindy April 28, 2019 at 9:29 pm I’ve used the link above, but when I search I still can’t find it. Reply Karen April 29, 2019 at 1:29 am I also tried to download and got nowhere no matter which link I followed. Reply Mary April 29, 2019 at 5:52 am Thank you Sarah-Jane great pattern I cannot wait to get started X Reply Tanne April 29, 2019 at 11:16 am Hi Sarah-Jayne, what a lovely pattern. Just a seizing question: on the border between the small and the medium one, which one would you go for? I’m leaning towards smaller because that’s more accurate in numbers, and expecting the medium to be supersize then. But not sure if they end up on the rather smaller or larger size? Thanks for your feedback! Reply Terry Kerekgyarto April 29, 2019 at 12:35 pm Sarah-Jayne: Unfortunately the link you have given above still doesn’t bring you to the pattern. When I search for Caron Cocoon, it brings me to a page with patterns, but this one isn’t there. I really want to try to make this item. Hoping you can get the link working. Thanks. Reply April April 29, 2019 at 1:35 pm Hi Sarah, The link “http://bit.ly/2mdv6J5 and search ‘Caron Cocoon’ in the top right” is not working for me either. 🙁 Reply April Polaske April 29, 2019 at 1:37 pm Hi Sarah, Searching ‘caron cocoon’ isn’t working for me either. ☹ Reply Yadira Steffens April 30, 2019 at 12:48 am hello I am having trouble downloading the pattern. Reply Carol April 30, 2019 at 5:47 am Hi sarah, can you tell me what to do if i want to substitute the yarn for caron simply soft? I noticed that the yarn weight is different caron x pantone is chunky ehile caron simply soft is aran. How much yarn do i need? Thank you! Reply Cindy Long May 1, 2019 at 2:09 pm Sarah-Jayne, I finally got the pattern to download and want to understand the amount of yarn needed better. With the Caron Pantone you’re using in the video, the largest pattern calls for 14 braids. Is that a total of 14 braids or 14 sets of braids? thanks! Reply Sarah-Jayne May 1, 2019 at 6:17 pm A braid is the whole thing that I showed in the video not the individual colours on the braid. So you will need 14 whole braids. x Reply Poppy May 2, 2019 at 7:44 pm How much yarn do you need to make this. Caron Pantone is expensive is there any cheaper alternatives? Reply Katherine May 7, 2019 at 7:08 pm Gorgeous design, can I ask if you go for the caron simply soft how much yarn will it need? Reply Marie June 1, 2019 at 11:49 am Mine turned out huge but it’s nice and cozy! Reply Abi D August 16, 2019 at 11:13 am Hi, Please help! Absolutely love this pattern and have bought my yarn so am good to go, but I’m relatively new to crochet and have fallen at the first hurdle! I don’t understand from the pattern how to make my gauge swatch. It says 12 sts and 7 rows ‘in pat’, but I don’t know how to interpret this, given that the pattern itself is done in rounds. Any advice apprecitated!! Reply Ann March 28, 2020 at 1:17 am Hi Sarah! My square is still itsy beetsy tini wini but the edges are curvy? what am i doing wrong? Thanks! Reply Karen October 2, 2022 at 9:13 am Could I use the same amount of yarn in Paintbox yarns simply Aran as the weight is the same please? Reply Fiona November 15, 2022 at 11:27 am Hi! I am making this in a different yarn, to use up some of my stash. One of the colours I would like to use, I have slightly less of than the others. Can you tell me whether I will need more or less of the yarn colour used for the ribbing and cuffs compared to the squares?
