It was made by Olek. Olek is a street artist who was born in Poland but has always lived in the USA; She is famous for her large-scale artworks and is known for crocheting her entire studio apartment, her full-body yarn suits, and for stitching a colorful woolly coat over New York City’s monuments like on Wall Street’s “Charging Bull.”
