Previously I posted another crochet baseball cocoon set that was custom ordered. Naturally, since it was baseball season, I decided to make another set to list in my Etsy shop. Since I wasn’t even able to find a pattern for a baseball version of the cocoon, I figured it wasn’t being made much. Therefore I wanted to put out the option for someone else to find as well. This set has long since sold. However if you are interested in one for yourself, just shoot me a message and I would be happy to add you to my custom order list.

Crochet Baby Football Cocoon Pattern Info:
Crochet Football Cocoon by Sick ‘Lil Monkeys
As I stated above, I was unable to find a baseball version of the cocoon. Therefore I used the football pattern I had previously used and just adjusted it to look like a baseball. To be sure, it was very easy to make the few changes necessary to do this.
Yarn used
Red Heart Super Saver in White for the main part and Burgundy for the details.
A few good substitutes would be: Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice , Red Heart Soft, Bernat Softee Baby and Caron Simply Soft, to name a few.
Great yarn websites to check out would be: LoveCrafts, Lion Brand, Knitpicks/We Crochet , Mary Maxim and Knitcrate.
Crochet Hooks and tools
For this project I used U.S. Size 5.0mm (H) and 6.5 mm(K) hooks
Furthermore, something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. Undoubtedly my favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 Additionally I have the light up set pictured below. I love that it’s rechargeable!
Make it even more fun and get the whole beginner crochet kit.
Additional Tools for when your wrists and/or hands ache
If you are like me and you knit and crochet a lot, something that I have found is useful at times is a pair of stress relief gloves. I own a few different kinds, but I do think any of them is better than not using anything at all if your hands and wrists are bothering you. In fact I’ll include a few links for you to check out.
