I’ve seen many animal-inspired winter hats and as cute as they may be, there’s no way they top this Bender toque.
For those who love Futurama, this Bender toque would be perfect for you. That’s right, the foul-mouthed, cigar-smoking, alcohol-chugging robot has been transformed into a hat. This cozy looking crocheted winter wear was designed by Etsy user Cheewawamomma. The toque shows the top part of Bender’s face featuring his eyes and antenna with the rest of the wear's face filling in the rest. The flaps down the side should keep your ears warm even in the coldest of weather.
In addition to the Bender Toque Cheewawamomma also has other crocheted items that are just as amusing and whimsical.
