It was $28. After shipping and handling it probably would have been $33. I looked at the little outfit and knew I could do it.
I'm cheap. Doesn't $33 for a little outfit the baby will probably wear once seem a bit high?

It's kind of hard to photograph. I can't wait to see it on the little guy. I hope it fits. That's the only thing that can be a little frustrating - babies are different sizes and depending on yarn/size hook/tension, patterns can come out different sizes.
Here's how I made it, in case any crocheters out there want to do it.
