The Secret Garden Cocoon Wrap is the perfect way to surround yourself in a multitude of yarn and stitches.  It begins in the center of the back with a circular cast on, and continues to grow as you work in the round, creating a large circle.  Armholes are created and the fronts are worked flat, changing into an oval shape. Ribbing is added all around as a finishing touch. A mix of Wildflower yarns and Spun Cloud is used throughout along with various stitches to create added texture and dimension.
