Im making a cocoon for the first time with chunky yarn, the ones that have a hood, similar to this idea,

I bought a pattern from estsy and its look the right shape, BUT its measuring 21 inches around? Does that seem too big for an infant or a baby a couple month old? What are the usual measurements for an cocoon? My girls and 2 and 3 now and I can only seem to remeber them being teeny Lol. Any help or advice would be greatly appericiated. TIA

The pattern says that it is 16" around and 22" long with a lot of stretch. It uses worsted weight yarn instead of chunky, so that may be why yours is bigger around.

Opps didnt even notice they had the sizes marked on the similar one. Ill try again and see if it will come out a little smaller, thanks
