April the Giraffe Cocoon Pattern

This adorable pattern is the perfect baby shower gift. Original, cute and super easy to make. Just like April had her baby, well now your little bundle can be in their giraffe spotted cocoon and hat also. Great little memory keepsake to keep of the event. All made with worsted weight yarn, and less than 2 balls in total to make complete outfit. Want to personalize it, add a little name or initial on it. Make it for a gift, to sell, or just to keep yourself to remember that special time while the world watched April, and her little one.
