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

It seems like a big project, though, for a beginner to accomplish in five days!
Edit: my wife just informed me the pussy hat idea has been around for awhile now.

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

The instructor in this video does a great job! It looks anyone can make them.

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!

I was happy to have contributed something. I hope there are lots of hats at the march.
