It seems memes have escaped past the bounds of the Internet, with the help of the Nyan Cat scarf by TEIJDOS. Express your love for hot Internet memes in hand-knitted style by this creative Etsy shop owner. With a knitted shrine to Nyan Cat, also known as the Pop Tart Kitty, you'll be able to wear your favorite meme in a comfy clothing form. Hand-knitted using bulky and chunky acrylic yarn, this meme-influenced wearable will be as soft as the little kitty cat it sports on the front.
Complete with a vibrant rainbow, a speckled pop tart and a grinning cat, this scarf is an obvious tribute to one of the Internet's favorite cats. If you've been living under a rock and don't know who Nyan Cat is, acquaint yourself with this pop tart loving cat video.
