Step-by-Step Instructions

Base Cocoon

2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, make 1 dc in the same stitch, then make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 36 double crochets.
5. Rounds 4-10: Chain 3, then dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st at the end of each round. You will maintain 36 double crochets throughout these rounds.

Floral Motif

1. Using a contrasting earthy neutral color, attach your yarn to any double crochet stitch from the base cocoon.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, make a single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Then, *skip 1 stitch, make 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch, skip 1 stitch, make 1 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to complete the round.
3. Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle.

Finishing

1. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
2. Block gently to shape the cocoon and floral motifs, allowing the piece to take on a beautiful form.
