Valley Yarns Leafwing is a lovely baby cocoon that will keep your little one warm and cozy on a chilly day. Worked in Valley Superwash Bulky, the cocoon is knit in the round from the bottom up and then divided for the button bands or bands so that you can sew twill tape with snaps. Cables travel up the front and continue onto the hood, meeting at the top. Options are included for drop-shoulder sleeves or a sack with no sleeves. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
