I’ve designed this giant lobster onesie to be a mix of practicality, comfort – and fun!

• 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!

List of materials, list of skills (with links to tutorials), detailed write-up of every step, images and notes to help with reading.

Skills required:

• K = knit stitch

• P = purl stitch

• Kfb = Increase one stitch using the knit front back method (turns one stitch into two by knitting twice into the same stitch – once in the front and once in the back)

• K2 tog = Knit 2 stitches together at the same time

• S1k1 psso = Slip one stitch onto the opposite needle without knitting it, knit one stitch, pass slipped stitch over

• Knitting in the round (can be done with circular needles)

• Knitting an I-cord
