I’m teaching a weekly origami workshop at our library for the Summer Reading Program. Last week we made origami pirate hats. The Samurai Pirate model was the most popular, followed by the traditional pirate hat. Or a combination of the two! Only one kid wanted to make the African kufi hat, which was my personal favorite. Like Captain Barbossa, most pirates seem to prefer “a really big hat.” But I have to admit that the Samurai Pirate is a great look! Then, of course, we also had the Fashion Pirate, a little girl dressed in pink with a striped heart on her knit top, sporting a matching striped pirate hat. Très chic, aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh.
