This darling crochet plaid baby cocoon and hat set is perfect for a winter and fall baby or a rustic woodland themed nursery or baby shower! Perfect for keeping baby cozy, warm and comfortable. It is roomy to fit a baby fro newborn to 6 months old, with a little hat to fit a brand new baby.
Doesn’t classic buffalo plaid just scream fall? If you have a fall baby coming, you must add this cute buffalo plaid cocoon and hat set to her layette. This set would also make an adorable set for your newborn shoot!
I chose Lion Brand Wool-Ease for this project. I am already in love with the Wool-Ease color palette; the heather colors are so pretty, especially Mushroom and Rose Heather. Black, Cranberry and Ranch Red are perfect colors for classic Buffalo Plaid so I chose to use them to make my Plaid Baby Cocoon and Hat Set.
If you are wanting different yarn ideas, Lion brand has several other choices that work perfect for the classic buffalo plaid pattern:
Vanna’s Choice in Burgundy, Red and Black.
Heartland in Redwood, Badlands, and Black Canyon.
New Basics 175 in Brick, Tomato, and Black.
Or 24/7 Cotton in Red, Magenta and Black.

I am having problems with the first round ending with the same colour I started with in the plaid. I have 83 st when i finish the black and am starting the plaid round. I end the first round with the same colour I start with and they should be opposites. I can’t figure out why.
You will need to double check your colors or count your stithces. 84 (83 minus 1) is divisible by 6, so you should not begin and end with the same color. (3 of wine, 3 of black, repeat)
What is the trick on keeping the yarn colors from being tangled?
There IS a trick, and I talk about it in the plaid video!

Hi! Question: do I slip stitch into the top of the chain 2, ch 2, then dc into the next stitch or do I slip stitch into the first dc, ch 2 then dc into the same dc when I start each row? Due with baby boy in 8 weeks! Can’t wait to make this! Thank you for the pattern!
You will sl st into the dc, then dc in the same st as the chain. The first plaid block will only have 2 dc, but the ch 2 will make it look like it has 3.
Thank you so much for all the plaid patterns. I can’t wait to get started on the cocoon set. But I’m not sure I understand the beginning with the FPDC stitch. When it says, DC2. FPDC around same stitch, does that mean I’m FPDC around both DC stitches in 1 FPDC?
You are welcome! You will work a regular dc in the top two loops, and then a fpdc around the same st(the stitch you just worked a dc into).
I love this pattern…can’t wait to try this!!
Thank you!
I am alittle confused is the plaid stitch 2 or 3 double crochets….it says to do 2 if I am reading it right …but it looks like 3 in pic …confused
It’s three. Are you confused about the first part?
