Bloomies

I was in Bloomies (Bloomingdales) yesterday and they had many crocheted & knit capes, scarves & ponchos! But what really surprised me was the crocheted cocoon sweaters and shrugs like schematic that is posted here at Crochetville. They were going from $50 up. The cocoons were $78 & up. And they were very basic pattern with ribbons for ties. Nothing difficult at all. So I am assuming shrugs, cocoons & capes are the fall fashion trend this year.

This may sound like a silly question but what is a cocoon?
