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.

I feel the urge to rush fall along this year and kind of want to head right into spooky season (thus the posts about haunted houses and ghosts!) but I know we should also take a moment to give fall its due. And I do love fall, which is why I shared some fall leaf cross stitch patterns, too.
I thought one way to celebrate fall without getting too Halloween would be to look for some pumpkin cross stitch patterns that aren’t jack o’lanterns. These can be used to decorate all the way through Thanksgiving, and some of the little ones you could even stitch on cloth napkins for your holiday table, like the mini pumpkin pattern from Craft with Cartwright.
This one is just 39 by 36 stitches, or less than 3 inches around, and it uses three colors.
The individual pumpkins in this pumpkin sampler could be stitched individually on smaller projects if you wanted. It’s from Cross with Me on Etsy and features plain pumpkins in different colors and plaid pumpkins. As shown it measures 7.5 by 7.36 inches and is 105 by 103 stitches. It uses five colors.
One cool thing about cross stitch is that you can use designs made for other crafts to make cross stitch projects. For example, beading charts also use squares and you can stitch the same pattern just fine. This pumpkin stack from Bracelet Book includes the word Boo but you could just stitch those areas in the same color as the pumpkin if you want to keep it plain.
Demented Stitchers on Etsy has a pretty pumpkin cross stitch pattern that looks like it was stenciled. This is a great one for beginners to try as it’s only 71 by 76 stitches, or about 4.4 by 4.7 inches on 14 count fabric, and it uses three colors.
For a bit of a fancier look, try this scroll pumpkin pattern from Annie’s. It’s rated easy and it looks like it uses about five colors.
Why?
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH…no

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!!!
