Keep your baby warm and cozy with any one of these Cable Cocoons and Hats designed by Lisa Naskrent. Inside this 24-page crochet pattern book, you'll find precious crochet patterns for both baby boys and girls that would make perfect baby shower gifts for an expectant mom. If you're the one expecting, then treat yourself to one of these cute crochet patterns for your own little bundle of joy.

These crochet baby patterns are easy to crochet using Plymouth Yarn Dream Baby DK. They're designed to fit infant's size 0-3 months. Soft, pastel colors like pale blue, pale pink, and tan are recommended when working up each one of these patterns, but feel free mix things up and choose your own colors. Use brighter yarn if you're looking for a more modern-looking baby set, or use pale yellow if the baby's gender is still unknown.

Five crochet patterns are available to choose from, each including a hat and cocoon. Choose from the following matching sets: Bit of Honey, Puppy Love, Sugar & Spice, Cotton Candy, and Vanilla Cream. Special stitches used for these crochet patterns include cable, mini-cable, tri-cable, single-cable and a chain 2 loop cable. Detailed instructions are given for each stitch and pattern; plus, the book also includes a stitch guide and metric conversion charts if you run into any questions along the way.
