Last year saw the hipster knitwear trend rise to a whole new level, culminating with some incredible animals on knitwear...

But there's an all together better trend that began back in 2000 and re-emerged in 2011 and that's penguins in knitwear.
WHAT!? When faced with the tragedy of an oil-spill, during which penguins get cold and ingest the toxic oil whilst trying to clean themselves, volunteers came up with a fashion-forward solution for the little fellows. A knitting pattern and a plea was sent out to save these tiny Australasian penguins, the largest of which stand at a proud 30 cms tall. Knitters from around the world united and workers were inundated with colourful miniature jumpers.
In 2000 and 2011 hundreds of lives were saved by the tiny jumpers. As a precautionary measure Tasmania holds a penguin knitwear bank of over 15,000 of them. Cute.
