To start, you’ll need some basic supplies such as a crochet hook, stitch markers, yarn needle, tapestry needle, and yarn. We recommend using super bulky yarn for a plush and snuggly cocoon, but you can choose different sizes and thicknesses according to your preference. The cocoon is worked in a continuous spiral using single crochet, double crochet stitches, slip stitch, treble crochet, and even the raspberry stitch for a textured look.
