When my new niece was born we knew she needed the perfect Halloween costume. Based on my popular Shark Hat, this cocoon will keep her warm and super cute.
About the Pattern
The pattern is really easy and includes instructions for making a backpack. My 8 year old said a backpack would be awesome so of course he gets one! It is a great place to keep pajamas too.
