There’s no doubt that most of us are turning to streaming sites for some positive distraction amidst the current crisis. And if you’re a Netflix regular, chances are you’ve stumbled upon the documentary Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness. Apparently, the limited series has been an instant hit. In fact, it even prompted someone to create a crochet Joe Exotic pattern and put it on sale on Etsy.
Etsy store CraftyisCoolCrochet offers tons of different crochet patterns of animals, celebrities, and other pop culture icons. The shop is owned by Allison Hoffman—the same artist who brought us the Baby Yoda-inspired amigurumi pattern back then. Now, she’s back with yet another incredible pattern that’s perfect for fans of crocheting and Tiger King himself.
There’s an Etsy store that sells a Joe Exotic crochet pattern, so you could create your own Tiger King and tiger cub dolls at home
