Cocoon Sweater Wrap from Butterick 6065

 Here is a fun, easy and satisfying project for you!  I call it a Cocoon Wrap, and it is from Butterick 6065.

This is so easy, it is literally only two pattern pieces:  the main body, and the neckband.

I used a novelty Missoni type sweater fabric.  I'm not sure what is in it, but it has all of my favorite fall colors.

This is so comfortable!

I can't wait for it to turn chilly enough to wear it!

Since my fabric was very loosely woven, I hemmed it with a satin bias strip.  But you could just narrow hem it if your fabric is closely woven.


My 21 year old daughter wants one.  How cool is that?

Happy Sewing!

    Gorgeous sweater - you picked the perfect pattern for that fabric. It is so cool your daughter wants one, we moms know the garment is a winner when they ask for one, too.

    Beautiful! Looks so cozy and perfect for the cooler months of the year. I like too how it's colorful - I seem to wear a lot of darker blacks & greys that time of year.

      Thanks, Melissa. I have a lot of black and grey too- that's why I thought I'd punch it up this year with a little more color.
