Knit-a-Dictator

Sunday July 20, 2008
The plush Hitler on the right is reportedly included in a book of knitting patterns that allows users to create their own cuddly Saddam, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and more. From The Sun:

    "Rachael Matthews — who has kick-started a celebrity knitting craze — calls the grotesque Nazi doll Knitler.

    Her new book has designs for a dozen dictators, with a photo of Hitler doing the Nazi salute on the cover.

    ...A spokesman for the Jewish Network said: 'You would hope people would have more sense than to take a cuddly Hitler into work.'"
