Hello!

I am proud to announce that I designed these puffer beanies and helmet cover in one with Julian, called Fugoo! They are designed originally for snowboarders, skiers, and bike riders, but they can be worn by non-helmet wearers too since they fit well as beanies!

Please check it out, I literally just launched the site today and you're one of the first ones in the world to know!

Please help support a puffer lover and a flegdling small business by sending it out to your friends :) They are perfect gift for helmet wearers and kids (through preodering mostly).

Thank you so much!
joanne

Thanks! I originally just made one for my own amusement, but whenever I wear mine to the slopes to go snowboarding, people would not stop asking me where to buy one, so I decided to make more and sell them!

I started wearing them to places like supermarkets and Target, I just got all these compliments all the time : )

Pufferpunk! Yay! Please do, if you want one for your bike helmet, please let me know the dimensions of it (height and circumference) so I can make one for you that will fit perfectly!

I don't own a helmet, can't I wear one as a hat?

Fugoo is his name, not his breed. ;)

Aww thanks! I thought about making a GSP and Sushi type of fugu, but I really am not a very skilled knitter and have no idea how to do complicated color patterns. I'll try to talk to my mom and see if she could teach me a thing or two that I can use to make those. Right now I think she's a little overwhelmed because she's helping me make so many of those prototypes! Maybe in the future.

Solid colors in kids size are available for sure now though :)

I was amazed to see American riding without helmets. They're mandatory in Canada, you don't have a choice.
