Hermit Crab Hat
A crochet animal hat by PurlsAndPixels
Meet the original Hermit the Crab hat. I’ve been making this amigurumi style hermit crab hat since I started crafting again and it is my most requested item. It is about time I write up a blog about this little guy so you know all about him.
Why the hermit crab hat was designed
The hermit crab hat was originally designed in 2013 to be the mascot hat of Hermit_theCrab gaming, an online, live television show about video games. This funny crab hat got so popular among Hermit’s viewers, that I opened my Etsy store to start selling them. I’ve designed this hat in all sizes, because this hermit crab hat looks great on everyone.
Hermit_theCrab‘s gaming fans aren’t the only ones who love it.
A crab hat for everyone
The little crab hat has been used as a newborn baby photo prop, and the little ones look adorable.
It makes a great Halloween costume; my favorite was the dad who wanted to dress like Sebastian the Crab, in a daddy-daughter Little Mermaid costume.
And Mr. Crab has taken several trips across the big pond to dance to Crabulon at Evil Scarecrow‘s heavy metal concerts.
