Beistle Carrot Ears Headband, Fabric, Pink/White/Orange/Green, One Size

Product Information

Now, I know your average 10/11/12-year-old kid isn’t going to beg you to be a carrot for Haloween this year….but it’s a fun idea for babies, toddlers, or even high school aged kids who are past dressing up like super heroes and princesses but want something a little more unique and kind of hilarious to wear! Or hey, this would be an awesome adult costume too! I’d wear it! ( And then I’d make my husband wear a bottle of ranch costume! Ha!) Also, just like some of the other costumes I’ve made this month, I’ll be giving this costume away too. Because our dress-up box is absolutely overflowing! So hopefully one of you could use this. (More on the giveaway down below!) If you don’t sew, don’t have time to sew, or would rather not sew…….this costume is up for grabs! Oliver wears an 18-month in clothing but it would work for a 1 year old (and would be a little longer) up to probably a 3 year old, maybe a smaller 4 year old (but would be a little shorter). Oliver is almost 15 months old and wears size 18 months in most things. SO, if you want to use his measurements as a guide, here’s what I came up with. I decided to make the carrot 22 inches from the top of shoulder, down to mid-calf. 22 inches plus 1.5 is 23.5…..which was the length of my fleece piece. Oliver has a chest size of 21.5 inches…..so after being multiplied by 1.3, adding 2 and then dividing by 2, I had a width of 15 inches. So, I cut 2 pieces from my fleece that were both 23.5 inches tall and 15 inches wide. JUST BE SURE THAT THE STRETCH OF YOUR FLEECE IS GOING LEFT TO RIGHT, NOT UP AND DOWN. Now, measure your subject just like the strawberry and decide how long you want your costume to be. Then add 1.5 inches to that measurement. Next, measure around the chest of your subject and then multiply that number by 1.3, then add 2 inches for seam allowances, and then divide by 2. ( The 1.3 can be adjusted…I just found multiplying it by 1.3 was a good ratio.)
