Big Friendly Giant
Because sometimes you just need a big, cozy hat. A ridiculously big and ridiculously cozy hat. Whether you are tramping off to Dream Country or chasing bellyhoppers off the edge of the map, this BFG inspired hat will ensure that you do it with a maximum amount of delight and comfort. Fit for a Majester or a modest giant, this bit of whimsy in chunky yarn and big stitches is almost as much fun to make as it is to wear. You can make it in any two colors your heart desires: we chose Cameo Rose and Eucalyptus from Wool and the Gang, reminiscent of frobscottle and zozimus dream bubbles. Hold your horseflies, keep your skirts on, I is your humbug servant. In short, every human bean should have one!
