Like cute fleece hats, but looking for something... a little different?
Rather than animal ears, this fleece hat boasts a dorsal fin -- specifically, the dorsal fin of a bottlenose dolphin, the species most typically seen in aquariums and other sealife facilities. Both dolphin trainers and marine researchers use the general shapes and unique notches of the dorsal fin to identify individual dolphins; this particular fin is thicker and more triangular in shape, with "ripples" on the trailing edge.
The fin and the body of the hat are a lovely blue-gray fleece; the band is white; and there's a small plastic tag on the back reading "whatzits galore." The inner fin is constructed of thin foam to allow it to stay upright, although -- just like real dolphins -- the dorsal fin may tilt to one side or the other to a certain degree.
These hats are designed to fit the average adult, with a band circumference of 22-24". Given the nature of the material, the fleece will comfortably stretch a couple of inches beyond that.

Thanks! :) These two are actually three or four weeks old; I've just been really busy and haven't had much of a chance to take photos.
I also have a great white shark fleece hat that I should be posting soon. It's dark gray with a white band and a triangular dorsal fin. A hammerhead would be cool, too! My hats tend to focus on the "top" of an animal, though (whether that means ears or dorsal fins), so it'd be a big change to actually create a hammerhead's cephalofoil. The dorsal fin itself is neat-looking, though; it's pretty tall and thin, at least for a shark.
