Express your love for hot Internet memes in hand-knitted style by this creative [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65) 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](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Meme-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create and sell clothing items inspired by popular internet memes. - **Hand-knitted Accessories:** Market for handmade accessories made with bulky and chunky yarn. - **Internet-influenced Merchandise:** Potential to sell merchandise featuring popular internet references. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and produce meme-inspired clothing lines. - **Handmade Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform for artisans to sell hand-knitted accessories. - **Merchandising and Licensing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer licensing deals to create internet-influenced merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Feline Meme Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-meme-material-download.md) - [Humorous Cat Collectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tired-cats-gachapon.md) - [Toaster Pastry Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-mascot-costume.md) - [Cozy Heart Pocket Onesies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yitty-3.md) - [Playful Animal-Themed Cotton Candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluffee-floss.md) - [Pastel Anime-Themed Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-topic-x-cinnamoroll.md) - [Cat-Inspired Fuzzy Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65.md) - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md)
