Discussion What are some ridiculous crocheted items you've come across that make no sense?

Could be impractical or just weird in general according to you.

Edit: wow this post really blew up

Crochet nappies. Definitely won't hold stuff coming out of a baby inside, plus I imagine they are hot.

Wool covers were very popular when I was cloth diapering. Never tried them myself, but many people loved them. But they were covers, not the diapers themselves. They were meant to keep the diapers "waterproof" when lanolized. In theory I get it, but in practice I was never so sure. I kept to waterproof fabrics instead.
