Raise your hand if you binged Tiger King over the weekend. I'll let you know that my hand is definitely up and, to be honest, I'm still trying to comprehend what I watched exactly.

It looks like I'm not alone because Tiger King has taken over the internet and even made its way into the craft world. Just take a look at this Etsy store's timely crochet pattern.

By now, you've probably heard of Netflix's recent hit documentary *Tiger King*.

The seven-part mini-series chronicles the little-known world of private zoos in America. Filmed over a number of years, the series follows a number of zookeepers including the controversial Joe Exotic.

The show's success has spawned a ton of memes online and it didn't take long for people to make their own tributes to the show.

For $7.00, you can instantly download the 21-page pattern, which includes instructions for Joe's tiger as well.
