It’s always refreshing to see artists who aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves, and that’s certainly the case with Phil Ferguson. The internet sensation known by the nickname Chilly Philly makes some of the most colorful and hilarious crochet hats you’ll see all day.
Ferguson decided to give crocheting a shot after moving to Melbourne and he got inspired to make his first food-shaped hat while working at a burger shop. This was only the first of many amazing creations he came up with over the years, and they got more complex and over-the-top as the time went by.
What makes Ferguson’s success even more impressive is the fact he learned to crochet on his own, by watching clips on YouTube. He never uses a pattern and he works towards creating the idea he has in his head.
His crochet creations are completely unique and that’s the secret behind his enormous success. Most of his hats are inspired by food, but his followers are there to support him every time he steps out of his comfort zone and tries to make something different.
