Perfectly Sane Man Crochets Food Head Gear, Becomes Instagram Famous

An Australian man has carved out 15 minutes of food fame for himself: Phil Ferguson of Melbourne knits hats and head gear in the shapes of common and popular foods, poses with them in photographs, and then posts them to his account @chiliphilly. The representations are exacting, but Ferguson's serious mug may really be why people keep clicking "like." Many of the hats are based off common food emoji, but some are just popular foodstuffs like ketchup and mustard. Here Ferguson is wearing a pizza, eggplant, taco, avocado, bowl of spaghetti, banana, doughnut, and more:

#39: Pie Face? Pie Head? GUESS WHAT GUYS? As a part of my feature on @sbsfood, we are doing a give away of this guy! To enter just go to the link in my description and enter there! You have to tell us what it is on my head! It's all to celebrate @eurovision if that's a good hint! I hope someone wins it and takes a photo with it so I can see! Give away ends tomorrow!!! Have fun!

#28: ❤️ Happy Valentines Day to my partner of 22 years: my face. Only someone who is single would crochet a plate of spaghetti for them self for #ValentinesDay. (You win my eternal love if you get the spaghetti reference) Anyway for those who missed it, I got a Twitter @thechiliphilly. I'll use that for any questions you have because I always miss Instagram notifications! Have a nice day everyone!

#29: VEGO PIZZA(?) ❤️ ❤️ I have started making multiple pizza hats for different projects but this one is different because I'm using different ingredients! What other pizzas should I make?! I'm hoping to wear one to @adoredelano next week, so time to get making! Also I've been thinking of having a shop of sorts, what would people be interested in buying specifically?! Have a good week everyone!
