Baby Butterfly Costume
"Crochet this adorable butterfly costume for the baby in your life. You will need to do some seaming for this costume, as well as sew in some snap tape (you can get it at any local craft store, usually near the elastic and they sell it by the yard). It’s not hard, though! The front and back are crocheted flat, then seamed at the sides and the snap tape goes in the crotch and shoulders. You could also do buttons if you don’t want to do snap tape. Yarn: Lion Brand Feels Like Butta (100% polyester, 3.5oz/100g, 218 yd/199m): Charcoal (MC) 2 (3) skeins, 1 skein each Lilac (CC1), White (CC2) Hook: US size H/8 (5.0 mm); US size I/9 (5.5 mm) Notions: Yarn needle; stitch markers; ¼ yard of black snap tape"
