Phil Ferguson is a man who wears many hats. We're not saying he's multitalented, though he quite likely is. We just mean that, literally, he wears lots of hats — specifically, food-themed ones that he knitted himself, and they're great. This Australian artist's Instagram account has attracted over 40,000 followers since he posted his first creation last summer.

He has taken on watermelon:
And Froot Loops:
And our favourite, ketchup and mustard:

According to Buzzfeed, Ferguson learned to knit by watching tutorials on YouTube. So thanks, YouTube. Now excuse us while we OD on amusement.

Social media can be so much more than selfies and viral videos — it's increasingly becoming a scratch pad for emerging artists and other creative minds to show off their latest work. Artstagram curates the best visual talent on Instagram, helping bring a little more art into your daily feed.​
