[www.keralites.net] : Someone Crocheted a Giant Sweater for this Mister Rogers Statue

 

In an interview Alicia explains:
"I worked during the day and then babysat until 11pm every night, so I would work on it after my 'charge' went to bed. I don't even want to know how many hours it took! It took many many, skeins of yarn, and I actually crocheted with 3 strands of yarn together and a giant crochet hook… Because of the way the statue was made, with his arms against his legs, I couldn't just 'crochet a sweater'; it had to be done in panels and then sewn onto him. The part of the sweater that I am most proud of is the zipper–it's a real zipper!"
