Owl and Piggy Hats from Wooly Mammoth Woolens

by Ciaran Blumenfeld on November 9, 2009

In this day and age, with such an abundance of cute hats available, it should be considered a crime to put your child in a boring chapeau. There’s no risk of being charged when you put your kids in these Owl and Piggy caps from Wooly Mammoth Woolens.

I love the slightly silly felt embroidery on these. It takes the handknitting to the next level. The fact that the pig is speaking in French and the owl is Woot-ing rather than hooting, is just priceless.

Would that I could shrink my kids a bit to fit into these fabulous caps.
