...and covering them with wool roving...
...before flipping the project to side two.
Adding additional layers of wool to each side.
A felted-in piece of wool yarn...
...serves as my 'cutting line'.
Cutting a circular opening for the baby's head...
...and removing the resist.
Mid-way through felting.
When a good friend of mine brought his new baby home recently...
...the weather here was still quite bone-chilling.
Remembering this project...
...made with another friend for her new granddaughter...
...I knew just what to make as a gift!
Next time: the finished cocoon...
...with handmade bias tape closure.

Must be a Steelers fan?! I bet that baby was snug as a bug ;)
Noooo, Kelly! :) It's hard to see in the photo, but the cocoon is BROWN and black and yellow. Her parents are from Ghana and I was really just thinking about colors which would remind them of home.
Anything that keeps baby warm and snug has to be a good idea!
Rachel--I think so, too!
