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.

We’re getting pretty close to Easter but there’s still time to add a handmade touch to your festivities. Easter baskets are pretty easy projects to stitch up and they add an extra level of cuteness to your egg hunt or your table decor. Here are a handful of great, cute and quick to knit free Easter basket knitting patterns for you to try.
Gina Michele made a little basket that looks like a chick. Worked flat in Garter Stitch in bulky yarn, this is a super quick project that would be great to hold candy inside a larger basket or as table decor.
Kaity Frakerhas a cute, simple basket worked in DK weight yarn that you can grab from Ravelry. It’s worked in the round from the base up, with an I-cord handle that’s sewn on after knitting. There’s also a pattern for an Easter egg with the basket pattern.
If you’re looking for a teensy Easter basket knitting pattern, check out this one from Marianna’s Lazy Daisy Days. This one is worked flat from the top down with the handle stitched separately. It’s perfect for holding a handful of candy eggs.
Making a felted basket is a great way to get a good sized basket quickly because they tend to be worked at a loose gauge. This one from Ann Lim is worked in bulky yarn and uses size 10.5 US knitting needles, and the handle is integrated into the bag so there’s no finishing other than the felting. This patter is a free download on Ravelry.
These last ones aren’t strictly Easter baskets, but they could be if you made them a little deeper and added a handle, or they can be used to display eggs, fruit or other holiday decor on the table. This one from DROPS Design is worked in Garter Stitch with two strands of yarn held together, then felted for extra strength. And this one by Clare Doornbos (a free Ravelry download) is worked in bulky yarn, also in garter stitch, and is the perfect introduction to short rows for people who haven’t stitched them before.

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!!!
