Babes, Tykes and Teens

While I’ve made many hats for grownups, young ones need to keep their heads warm and faces protected from the sun too. If you’re a parent, you might have experienced a kid itching to tear off a hat. This might be avoided with hats that are comfy, hard wearing and well fitting. Washable natural materials are good choices.

“Everyone thinks my baby is a boy because she is bald!” How fitting to correct that misconception with an adorable headband or a hat. Take note that no longer is blue for boys nor pink for girls.

Have you observed that babies have large heads in proportion to their bodies? An interesting tidbit: The average head circumference of a one year old is 43.5 cm. The head of a tween ranges between 51-56 cm, not much smaller than that of a woman at 53-58.5 cm.
