Summer Hats - Cotton & Crochet


In essence, from the moment your newborn is brought into the world he or she will be adorned in some form of a warm hat or beanie. Since babies are especially vulnerable to the elements, a high quality hat can serve an important and fundamental purpose to keep your baby warm and healthy as you brave the world together.  And with the infant fashion industry booming, hats for babies are available in every imaginable style, color, fashion, and fabric. We’ve outlined here what we think our the essentials for your baby’s spring/summer hat collection.  Whether you’re looking for girls baby hats or boys baby hats this season, this article should offer some insights.

It’s amazing how many styles of hat you can choose to wrap your baby’s little head in these days.  So, for the purpose of keeping this article informative we think it’s best and most practical to deal with beanie baby hats, as this is the style you’ll find is most effective for keeping your baby warm and protecting him or her from harsh weather elements.  A beanie is what you think of when you think of the classic “warm” hat.  A beanie makes sense for babies because it will fit snug around their heads while still remaining soft enough not to cause your baby any distress or discomfort.  Babies can become unhappy very quickly when they experience discomfort, so it’s important to consider the best options for their wardrobe accessories.

A cotton baby hat is a staple of any infant wardrobe, and with good reason.   Cotton is cozy enough to keep your baby’s ears warm while still breathable enough not to overheat him or her during the hotter months.  The other nice thing about choosing a hat made from cotton is that it’s extremely resilient.  So, when your baby inevitably has an accident (or two, or three) it can be easily washed and machine dried and ready to go back on your little one’s head in no time.  No matter how many hats your baby already has, if he’s missing a cotton one his wardrobe is truly incomplete.

A crochet baby hat is perhaps just as breathable as cotton but has the advantage of being an expansive fashion item with lots of room for imagination.  Since the art of crochet has what is essentially infinite possibilities for creative designs, this type of hat is  the perfect and practical way to add a little swag to your baby’s wardrobe.  And, because there are so many styles to choose from, they make great gifts for any of your infant’s many milestones.  Warm enough for the winter and at the same time breathable enough for the summer, crochet hats are a versatile and fashionable item and it’s definitely worth adding a couple to your baby’s selection.
