There’s something of a trend for British post boxes to wear knitted hats of late. The trend apparently began around Christmas in 2012 but has then expanded to take in all sorts of other festivals and reasons.

The name for the “hats” is “post box toppers” and the activity of making and placing them is “yarn bombing”.

This is something I learned today when I decided to post this picture. 🙂
