HI Sam, I am back. I found a forum where a really nice lady wrote about how she would knit this cocoon. http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.43659379.jpg

here are the directions she provided:
it looks like a oversize hat--use large needles and a chunky yarn (the yarn looks like a think and thin spun yarn--)
Use a slightly larger needle than suggested for yarn (ie, if they suggest 10.5--use an 11 (if you knit tight, use a size 13)

cast on 4,
join into a round,
Increase 4 on first round
after that,
1 round no increase, 1 round with 8 increases.

continue increasing till you have a 20 to 28 inch tube.

knit straight (plain rounds) until tube is about 20 inches long.
(alternately, work the rounds in garter stitch--1 round Knit (increase roung) 1 round purl (plain/no increase)/after you have enough stitches, continue in garter (with no increases on knit rounds)

bind off loosely.


I also found this picture. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AypoGhHn9b...os+33803-1.jpg

I like it better and this photo gives a pretty good idea about how to make it. If you knit, you should be able to do this. I plan to try my hand at it.
I will let you know if I get results! LOL

I need to shop for yarn too! That is awesome yarn!
