"Half-a-Baby" Zombie Costume

Knowing our love of zombies, Lisa sent me a link for a torso-only zombie baby costume. Sooo cute! This would be the perfect follow-up to last year's baby zombie brain hat I made for Dexter. It probably would have been a ton faster to sew it, but I of course took the familiar and much slower way of crocheting everything. We barely made it in time, but I think it turned out okay:

I tried to make everything as anatomically correct as possible, but the organs still turned out bigger than what Dexter probably actually has. :) I think if I had more time, I would add a spine and more muscle strands to cover his tush since the only other organs back there are the kidneys. Here's a list of everything that got made:

• Base layer (like a skirt) to tack everything on
• Leggings to cover his feet
• Large intestines
• Small intestines with a bumpy, red backing to fill in the gaps
• Stomach (didn't have time to make a liver)
• Kidneys
• Muscles (aka red, ragged filler)
• Veins and arteries

We ended up not using the leggings since I found a red footed onesie that looked much better. Dexter also wore a long-sleeve button-down shirt to cover the top of the costume. Everything was pretty custom so I didn't write down the "pattern," but if there's a ton of interest, I may consider it for next year. :)

If you made a cool costume this year, email them my way because I'd love to show off your hard work. Hope you all have a great Halloween!
