Little Red Riding Hood

Ahhhhhh.  Pinterest.  I have to say I am quite addicted.  It is an amazing place for inspiration.  I saw the cutest Little Red Riding Hood Costume on there, and although my skills are far less than required to match the skills of the seamstress that made the original one, it gave me inspiration.  So I grabbed my crochet hook and got to work!  I must admit, I learned to crochet off of utube.  Sad huh?  But this was really easy, I just made a red rectangle and closed it with yarn to make the tube top.  Added a small white rectangle and then some ribbon.  I then bought about 6 yards of tulle and went crazy!  It was so easy to just tie the tulle to each loop at the bottom of the tube top.   Let me warn you, anyone who may wish to attempt this project:  Do NOT buy the glitter tulle.  It will look like a glitter fairy blew up in our house for many years thanks to that stuff.  But nonetheless, here is my end result on my not so cooperative little one!
