Minnie Nuimos Strawberry Shortcake outfit

Hi,

last year, my parents bought me my first Disney Nuimos: Minnie Mouse. Since I love to do crochet, I decided to make cute little outfit based on some of my favorite TV shows.

 

I wanted to start with something simple like a sweater, a pants and a hat. So I based my first outfit on my childhood favorite series, Strawberry Shortcake (the version of 2003).

Here is the pattern:

Just remember that depending of the yarn you are using, it might not be perfect for your nuimos. Always have your nuimos with you, so that he can try on the clothes as you are making them.

And for those who like to listen to music while crocheting, here is the Work song from Cinderella.

- a hook (3.5 mm)
