Vertical Zig Zag Cocoon

I designed this baby cocoon, because I had an idea, but could not find a pattern that would fit what I wanted. You can find plenty of patterns with a ripple or chevron that is horizontal and worked in the round for baby cocoons, but not a vertical one. I wanted to use up some of my yarn I have been using for my little bit on the way for this, but you can choose how you want to have your yarn. I wanted this more for practical use than photography as I have several other cutesy cocoons I have made. I want to make this pattern free to every one. You will find it below.
