Here's my current project! 🌸
Currently, I'm working on a crochet cocoon from Yarnspirations. You can find the link here: https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/caron-x-pantone-crochet-cocoon?_pos=3&_sid=a7f4fd889&_ss=r
it's a free pattern, and it's easily customizable. It comes in a range of sizes, and it's super beginner friendly. If you love doing granny squares, then this will be right up your alley. You'll need about 130 yards of yarn depending on the weight and a size 6 mm crochet hook. I'd also suggest getting a tape measurer just so you can easily measure out your panels.
For mine, I'm doing about 20.5 inches. You can size up or down depending on your size. I'm on panel 2 of 4, and it's been working up pretty quickly! I do want to add that the initial start can be a little confusing. The pattern wants you to chain 5 and slip stitch into a ring, then start your granny squares.
I'll post an updated photo once I'm done! but let me know if you'd create this or if you have any questions about the pattern! I'll do my best to help.
