Thecia is a stunning baby cocoon that will keep your little warm and in style knit in Valley Yarns Haydenville. The cocoon is knit in the round from the bottom up to the beginning of the front opening. The button bands or bands that you can sew twill tape with snaps are incorporated into the piece on either side of the heart cable center. The hearts can be worked in the same color as the sack or in a contrast color using intarsia. Options are included for drop-shoulder sleeves or a sleep sack with no sleeves. The cable heart pattern is charted and written out, and the intarsia option is in chart form only.
