The Crochet Star Cocoon is a soft, five-point star sleep sack that a newborn nestles right into. Points wrap around like a cozy hug, a rounded hood lifts up over baby’s head like a tiny bonnet, and a buttoned side opening lets you pop them in and out with ease. It photographs beautifully, gifts beautifully, and — once you know how — it works up faster than you’d think.
