All dolled up! Amanda Lillie and her husband Jon wear the Cabbage Patch hats at Halloween.
A fan of the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls has created a bizarre range of woollen wigs so that people can dress up as the iconic child's toy.
The original dolls were created in 1978 and had fabric bodies, vinyl heads, and hair made from wool to look like a number of popular styles of the day.
Although the toys are now made with cornsilk hair, an enthusiast has crocheted wigs to look like the traditional yarn ponytails, plaits, bunches, and ringlets.
The accessories can be made in a variety of sizes to fit babies, children, and adults who wish to dress up like the popular dolls.
Amanda Lillie, 32, had the idea for the wacky headwear when she stumbled upon a version online and wanted to make her own improved version.
She unearthered her own doll collection and studied their hairstyles for inspiration before creating her own from acrylic wool.
Amanda has now made a variety of different wigs in yellow, brown, black and red and each one takes around two hours to complete.
They are sold on www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheLilliePad for prices between £13 and £26.
