I LOVE this baby stork sack and wish I had had one when my guy was a newborn. This is a very simple knit. It's a great project to knit while watching a movie or at a family gathering. You really don't have to pay any attention to what you are doing because it is knit completely in the round. I doubled up on the yarn to make it extra warm for the chilly months to come. You can use this both indoors and out and it is great for stroller use.
I used Bernat Natural Cotton yarn, don't forget to double up for thickness! This yarn is both machine washable and dryable, great for baby's skin too!
Using size 15 circular needles cast on 50 stitches.
Knit in the round till the length measures about 17" ( you can alter the length depending on baby's age )
Decrease rows: For the last 3 rows, knit 1, knit 2 together.
Leave a long tail and weave through remaining stitches, pull snugly to draw in stitches and weave in all loose ends.

I love this idea--and your pattern. Do you remember what your gauge was? I'm not familiar with this yarn, so the gauge would help. Either that, or could you provide the circumference of the cocoon?
I'm really excited to knit this up. Thanks so much for posting this!
