How to make a Baby Groot Costume

My Baby Groot costume consists of 3 parts:

• A headband
• A tutu
• A onesie with the text “I am Groot”

The headband and tutu require a little bit of crocheting. To customize the onesie, you’ll want a die cutting machine such as a Silhouette or Circut.

How to make the headband

To create the headband:

1. Chain to a length that matches the circumference of the baby’s head
2. Skip 2 chains, DC in each chain
3. Repeat for 5 more rows
4. Stitch the rectangle together to form a circle.

To create the bow on the headband, repeat the previous steps but reduce the length of the chain by an inch or so. Repeat step 3 for 6 more rows instead of 5. Leave an extra long tail.

Attach the bow to the band with the extra long tail.

How to make the Tutu

To create the tutu:

1. Chain to a length that matches the circumference of the baby’s waist
2. Skip 2 chains, DC in each chain
3. Repeat for 2 more rows
4. Stitch the rectangle together to form a circle
5. Cut strips of tulle
6. Attach the tulle to the waist band alternating between the green and brown tulle

How to customize the onesie

To customize the brown onesie with the text “I am Groot,” I used my Silhouette to cut out the phrase on Glitter Iron-on vinyl.

If you create your own cut file, be sure to mirror the text before cutting it out. Alternatively if you do not own a Silhouette or other die cutting machine you could cut out the text with an Xacto knife.
