If you are purchasing Octopus Hat with the thought of aesthetics, this product is fantastic. If you are purchasing for warmth, you’d best couple it with a ski mask and or an insulated cap.
The item is crocheted vice knitted, so it is more like a net than fabric. Still the layered effect of the tentacles will break up the wind a bit and provide decent insulation for your face. I strongly recommend wearing extra layers on your head and ears for actual warmth.
That said, it put a smile on my boys’ faces, and I hope to put smiles on strangers’ when out and about this winter.
Also, one last note for those unfamiliar with crochet; the item WILL stretch out with use over time as is typical of crochet pillows and blankets.
