Cocoon Stitch

About this Stitch Pattern


The Cocoon Stitch creates a fascinating texture! Small textured cocoons are nested among waving ribs to make a beautiful bumpy fabric. By combining increases, decreases, bobbles, reverse stockinette, and ribbing, this is one of the most unique knitting stitches we have encountered. It takes a bit of effort to create, but the end result is totally worth it!
