I’ve designed this giant lobster onesie to be a mix of practicality, comfort – and fun! Pattern includes a list of materials, list of skills (with links to tutorials), detailed write-up of every step, images and notes to help with reading.

  • The claws are removable pillows: You can knit the claws on their own to have some giant, crustacean-themed throw pillows!
  • The tail fin has an opening: The tail fin is attached to the front, leaving the back open for you to put your feet down and walk.
  • The tail fin also has a pocket for your feet: You can even slip your feet inside one panel of the tail fin to keep them cosy!

The onesie is designed to be stretchy and a bit more like a blanket than a fitted garment.
