‘My Knitted Boyfriend’: At Least This Guy Won’t Open His Big Mouth

Posted on by

Being single can suck, especially when all of your friends already have plus one’s. Artist Noortje de Keijzer found a way around this not by joining online dating sites or by going on blind dates, but by knitting her own boyfriend.

Yes, you read that right: she knitted one.

Obviously, she doesn’t have Geppetto’s power, so her knitted boyfriend isn’t alive. But since it’s actually a cushy bodysuit, any guy can wear it and make the suit come alive – or better yet, it can just be filled with stuffing if you’d prefer the strong and silent type.

So far, Noortje has knitted two boyfriends: Arthur, who was born knitted on September 14, 2009, has white skin, dark brown hair and black knickers; while Steve, born knitted on September 27, 2011, has dark brown skin, black hair and beige knickers.

How’s that for a kooky graduation project?

‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ Bodysuit Turns Any Guy Into Your Knitted Boyfriend

My Knitted Boyfriend2

I’ve seen my fair share of kooky bodysuits, but this one is just ridiculous. Ridiculously funny, that is. It’s called ‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ and it was created lovingly by Noortje de Keijzer. It’s not the only one of its kind, as Noortje has said that she has already knitted two of these ‘so far’. You can probably expect more knitty men to come your way when she finds the time to knit them.

It’s only proper that they get names, since they’re knitted boyfriends and all. Knitted on September 14th, 2011, Arthur has white skin, dark brown hair, and black knickers. Knitted two weeks later was Steve, who has dark brown skin, black hair, and beige knickers.

Each of these bodysuits can be worn by actual dudes. Or you can just fill them up with stuffing or pillows if you don’t have a real man in your life.
