Rubie's Official Disney Frozen 2, Kristoff Deluxe Mens Costume

Product Information

Calling all FROZEN fans…This DIY Kristoff costume is SO easy (and relatively inexpensive) to make!! It’s perfect for Halloween or just everyday dress-up play!

Now it’s time to bite the bullet and cut the sleeves off the sweater. (Cutting into clothes always makes me nervous.) Before dyeing the sweater, I marked where I thought a good spot would be for the sleeve to end. Then, I wrote down the measurement and removed the safety pin before dyeing. (I waited to cut off the sleeves until after dying the sweater because we are going to use the sleeves to make Kristoff’s hat!) Play out favourite Frozen and Frozen 2 moments with Anna and Elsa dolls, or sing along to hit songs like ‘Let It Go’ with Elsa. Hi there! Welcome to Part 2 of our Kristoff costume project. We’re going to be spending a lot of time in Kristoff’s armpits, today. Or, rather, cutting, binding, and adding fur to the arm holes of his vest. So, this is where we left off at the end of Part 1. I found a great sweater at Goodwill, and Elliott helped me dye it from gray to brown.

I continued to pin the trim all the way around the hem and drew it up to match the point where I began. I used a zigzag stitch and made my first pass at stitching the bias tape around the armhole. At this point, I felt safe cutting the bias tape to length with a bit extra. I trimmed the corners off the ends and folded the excess over. Then, I folded the bias tape over to finish encasing the armhole opening. Next, I began to pin the trim to the hem of the vest, starting at the peak of the pointed shape and curving down to the hem. The red stripe at the hem provided a handy guide. I simply matched the top of the trim to the top of the red stripe.

It turns out that I only needed to cut off about 1 1/2 inches. This further validated me in my belief that you should always leave extra trim. You never know how your base material will stretch and “scoot”, especially if it is a knit. Just admit it. Do you love singing "Love is an Open Door" at the top of your lungs? Do you hope that every snowman you build turns into a magical snowman like Olaf? A little bird also told us that you've been sneaking in your daughter's room to try on some of her Frozen dress-up clothes? Don't worry, we don't judge! Although, that Elsa dress has got to be way too snug for your frame! I started pinning the bias tape to the armhole of the sweater, wrong sides together, starting just in front of the underarm seam. A word of caution: don’t cut your bias tape from the roll until after sewing it down on at least one side…especially if you’re working with knit material. The knit material may stretch a bit, and you don’t want to run out of bias tape length to finish sewing around your opening! Yes, we are going to be legit mountain folk, like Kristoff, once this project is done! We are going to use a knife, my friends. First, I measured the armhole opening to determine how much fur I would need to go around it. The opening measured at 14 inches (measured flat, then double that measurement). So, I decided to cut 16 inches to give me seam allowance and a bit of wiggle room. Time to grab a utility knife!

I lay the cut strip along the hem of the vest. As you can see, the strip is too long, but that’s okay! Better too much than too little, I always say. I decided that I wanted the fur to taper a bit at the ends, where the strips will meet at the underarm seam. So, I drew angled lines on the reverse side of the fur and then scored through with the knife.

While living in the mountains by yourself may seem like a lonely life, there are plenty of trees and woodland critters to keep you company. If reindeer aren't your cup of tea, maybe you can befriend a snow squirrel. If you prefer friends that are even less distracting, you can be pals with a pine tree (we like Douglas Firs, and you already know what name to call them!), or make yourself a snowman buddy that might magically spring to life! Although, that might be a bad idea if you prefer the quiet...This officially licensed deluxe Kristoff costume will turn you into Princess Anna's love interest easily and comfortably (that's right, no more squeezing yourself into sparkly dresses!). This costume comes with the tunic, pants, hat, belt, and boot covers so you will have the complete look. This costume is comfortable and soft so you'll have no problem wearing it while you watch Frozen with your little girl. Sven Costume Fever Here is the sweater with one armhole completely stitched around with bias tape and the other one still pinned. Don’t worry too much about how pretty your stitching is. This is all going to be covered with fur. Yes, now we come to the fun part: The fur! It’s about to get hairy in Kristoff’s armpit. Sorry. That was gross!
