Book Week is around the corner and if the idea of whipping up a costume has you stressing, take a breath. You might already have the start of the perfect outfit in your cupboard… 

Our novelty character beanies make brilliant (and comfy!) Book Week costumes. Pair them with a simple outfit and the right book in hand, and you’re ready for the parade!

Here’s how to match our character hats to beloved children’s books:

Pop on the Puppy Beanie and you’ve got the perfect cheeky puppy look... just add an all brown outfit and you’re Pig the Pug! 


 

Kitty Beanie

Book Pairings:
