Some really interesting aprons could be made with these instructions for weaving ribbon into a wearable apron.

This guy sure is cute but that big nose looks more like a carrot! Ok, he is named “Nosey” so it’s intentional. The directions don’t state the finished size so you’ll just have to make it up to find out! The pattern scale is 1″ per square. You can get the free pattern and instructions
