  Step 1

  First, find a sweater, wash in hot water, and tumble dry. This way you know it's not going to shrink! Cut the sleeves off.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the sleeves open on the inside seam.

• 

  Step 3

  ...

• 

  Step 4

  Now you're going to cut out the hood.

• 

  Step 5

  Ok, so this may sound wrong, but you're going to sew it together wrong sides facing. Just trust me here. Zig zag as close to the edge as you can.

• 

  Step 6

  Then turn it right sides facing and sew again, using a 1/2" seam allowance to make sure none of the first seam shows through. This is a french seam. It will keep your cocoon from unraveling.

• 

  Step 7

  Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the hood pieces, stopping 5 inches from the bottom.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin the hood inside the cocoon with the wrong side of the hood facing the wrong side of the cocoon. Zig Zag.

• 

  Step 9

  Fold over and sew again, forming a french seam.

• 

  Step 10

  Decorate!
