How to knit a Pussy Hat for the Women's March



This is a step by step guide for folks, even people who don't know how to knit, so you can make your own Pussy Hat for the Women's March on January 21.

It reminds the country of Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" outrage, while keeping your head warm on a cold day!

Never main stream till now. Perfect occasion too. If enough women wear then, some poor newscaster will have to comment! Makes me smile.

For an experienced knitter, it's about a 3-hour project. Easy for a beginner too!

The yarn shop in Hillsborough NC can't keep pink yarn in stock! When I went in today there were three other women buying yarn for pussyhats!
