[Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters)’s Knottyfingers has crocheted a scarf that Dr. Heiter himself would be proud of called the Human Centipede scarf. Honoring 'The Human Centipede II' film, these scarves are shaped like twelve figures joined together in a line by an embroidered digestive tract.

Although there are no niceties in this design, it is made of a soft acrylic yarn, making it a comfy and practical if somewhat creepy accessory. Also they are made-to-order, and can be custom created to color specifications. These scarves would definitely be a bold fashion statement for die-hard fans of the film or people generally with a more twisted humor. Knottyfingers’ already eccentric range of handmade products, including crocheted zombies and cheeseburgers, mean these Human Centipede scarves are a welcome addition to the family.
