Crochet a Space Bear Balaclava Designed By Alex Reynoso … a Timely Hat of Necessity, Hope and Encouragement

Posted by Danielle | Apr 4, 2020 | Crochet Hacks | 0 |

I love that I found this pattern while watching a documentary about Sun Ra, “Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise” … this Space Bear hat would’ve fit in perfectly with so many of the amazing Afrofuturistic ensembles. It also reminds me of the Radiohead bear … designer Alex Reynoso says he was inspired by Bad Bunny’s “YHLQMDLG” music visuals. It’s always about the music baby …

Whatever the inspiration, it’s the hat of hope we all need right now …

Get the pattern via Ravelry, designed by Alex Reynoso.
