My 6yo niece has a very vivid imagination. She’s wanted to be Medusa for the longest time. Last October 22 she had her fantasy realized – thanks to Mommy Joy’s crochet skills. Joy found the free crocheted yarn snakes pattern by Lucy Ravenscar at Craftster.org.
The 14 snakes are made up of combinations of yarn colors, crocheted over four days. The eyes and tongue are sewn on. They are attached to a plastic headband, along with black yarn “hair”. The “black” lipstick is eyebrow pencil rubbed over lip gloss. The rest of the costume was a black sleeveless dress.
Lilo was even more thrilled when she won a special award for her costume! Even now she’s thinking of a new costume for next year…
