Leah Goldberg's children's book about a magical hat served as inspiration for these works. Karolina Muncheskul fulfilled the idea of a magical hat by combining a hat and a toy - a soft toy in the shape of an animal. She knitted children's hats from cotton, viscose, wool, and polyester in such a way that hat and toy fuse together. By tying up threads, the hat can be quickly transformed into a toy. This convertible hat has a magical quality, makes children's dreams come true. The motifs for the hat/toy are based on the memory of Karolina Muncheskul’s own toys: different animals and dinosaurs. The hat stimulates the imagination and invites to play and at the same time warms and protects the head. The results are cheerful, imaginative, astonishing mixed creations, which when worn as a hat unfold their special charm and wit. The children seem to carry jellyfish, snails, turtles, and dragons on their heads.
