Florentine Cocoon

Discover the cozy elegance of our Cocoon wrap, beautifully inspired by the mesmerizing architecture of Florence. The intricate marbles and the interplay of light and shadow found in this stunning city have left me in awe many times, and this pattern captures that enchanting essence. The Cocoon wrap features a variety of captivating textures, making it not only easy to knit but also entertaining as you experiment with different stitch techniques. Within the pattern, you’ll find detailed step-by-step instructions, alongside a helpful video tutorial for creating adorable bobbles, ensuring that both beginners and experienced knitters can enjoy this project.

The Cocoon is designed to be knit completely seamless, eliminating the need for any sewing or grafting. You’ll start by working the pattern in the round, similar to a (really wide) bottom-up sweater, and continue up to the sleeves. The sleeves are skillfully added to the body using a provisional cast on method, allowing for a flawless finish. Next, the front and back pieces are worked flat separately and then joined together using a three-needle bind-off technique, creating a polished look. Finally, the cocoon is completed with the sleeve cuffs knitted in the round, resulting in a wrap that is both chic and comfortable.

For the best results, we recommend using solid, semi-solid, or kettle-dyed yarns, as these will showcase the intricate details of the stitch patterns beautifully. While mohair is not strictly necessary, incorporating it will help the cocoon maintain its shape and enhance its overall elegance. This stunning Cocoon wrap is perfect for layering in cooler weather or simply as a fashion statement, making it a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire.
