The Shtick I Do

As you can tell by the title of the post I have one gift completed and ready for Christmas! Of course, if I keep looking at it I'm going to want to put beads or buttons or something  else on it. But what crafter doesn't do that? This is the Granny Cocoon Shrug that recently went viral in several Facebook groups. I decided I wanted to make one - I also decided that instead of making it for me I was going to gift it! I kinda sorta  followed >> THIS << video but I changed a couple of things - the arms for one. However, I LOVE the way it turned out and I think the recipient will love it too!  Stay safe this Halloween and remember it's all about FUN!  Peace and blessings. ~~Karen~~

She's having a girl and she asked me to make her a baby cocoon that looks like a flower. She sent a picture of one that to me, looked like it had been made on a Knifty Knitter loom or something similar. Now I've got several sizes of those looms floating around in my closet but heaven knows I'm too afraid to venture into it! That's an all day job is what that is. So, I crocheted her one. I wanted to share the pattern with you guys so that's what today's post is about. Let's get to it.
