If, my previous post on Crochet Shorts for men tickled your fancy, then this crochet Body suit would take it even further.
Described by the same Etsy artist who brought you those shorts, this body suit:
“Body-suit, jump-suit, “ONESIE”–call it what you will, this is a full body sweater made from recycled vintage crochets and custom fit to your body!!!”
I have several words that come to mind when I see this, none of them, polite enough to print.

There’s something great about every state, and Clive Gifford has collected fun facts, trivia and firsts from every state in Record-Breaking USA: Celebrating America’s Biggest, Brightest and Bravest.
Each state gets a one or two-page spread, with facts scattered around the page and illustrations by Paul Hammond. The page lists a state nickname, the capital, state mammal, a fun fact and some famous residents, as well as firsts and record breaking events that happened in each state.
You’ll learn that Alabama is home to the biggest unclaimed baggage center in the world, that Florida is home to the most toxic tree (the manchineel tree, which has sap that can burn the skin and make people go blind, and its fruit is toxic) and that Iowa is home to the largest model of a strawberry, to name a few facts. Loma, Montana, holds the record for the largest temperature range in a day (from -54 to 49 degrees F, which is a 103 degree difference), while Ohio’s Geauga County once employed the smallest police dog on record, an 11-inch-tall chihuahua/rat terrier mix.
South Dakota has the world’s biggest Bigfoot statue, the cotton candy machine was invented in Tennessee, and a car that was 91 percent cake was driven (and eaten) in Washington state in 2021, now holding the record for the fastest moving mostly edible car.
As you might guess from these sample facts, kids will find this book funny and probably learn some things, too. In addition to the states there’s a page for Washington, D.C., where President Theodore Roosevelt broke the record for the most hands shaken in one day (8,513, a record that’s held since 1907), and the US territories, as well as records that cross state lines and span the globe.
Readers will also learn about records set in space and read what it takes to be a record breaker. There are even a few records listed that you can try to break yourself.
This fun and colorful book is sure to engage kids who love facts, and would be a great one to take along on your next road trip.
About the book: 96 pages, hardcover. Published 2026 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail price $24.99.

I have a friend in fashion I will make a black one with small purple zig zags for… should you be gracious enough to share/let me buy the pattern.
all I could think of was “you better wear something under that thing or you’re gonna get chafing in places I’d rather not think about, then “whatever happened to ‘regretsy?'”
i know guys in the DesertFesty scene that would kill for that outfit!
I love this. Would love the pattern . Please
It’s my husband’s birthday and I’m trying to get someone to make this for him. It would be the gift that keeps on giving.
To me.
In laughs.
Makes Me want to learn how to crochet. My man will look hot in it
If I wore that anywhere in New Mexico, even in a Santa Fe gay bar, I wouldn’t live more than 15 seconds. And I would deserve to die. More to the point, I would want to die.
I love it..I have to admit. I would love to see tom Brady wear it
I would really love to have the pattern for this!!!
