DescriptionNeon pink hand knit pussy hat worn at the Women's March on Washington, January 21, 2017
Label Text:Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman launched a website in December 2016 to show knitters how to make pink “pussyhats” ahead of the 2017 Women’s March. The hat gave the wearer cat-like, “pussy” ears as a symbol of female power. Italian brand Missoni adapted the style for the finale of its fall 2017 collection.
