Attached to the hat is a small note from the creator which reads: "I hope I make you smile, so stop and look for a while, but please don't take me, it took so long to make me."

It comes just two weeks after a letter box outside of the Post Office on Downside Road in Risinghurst was spotted wearing a 'hilarious' knitted hat.
Photographer Ed Nix got a snap of the handmade cosy, which says 'Risinghurst here comes the (picture of a sun)' appliquéd into the trim, pictured below.
On top, there is a knitted blue whale, a Loch Ness monster, a boat, colourful fishes and a palm tree and beach scene.
