Things to watch
- Wool and merino wool tiers can itch against bare skin, and they need careful hand washing to avoid shrinkage.
- Acrylic and polyester hats hold less breathability than natural fibres, so a baby may overheat on milder days.
- Crochet photo-prop shapes often fit newborns only, meaning toddlers outgrow them within weeks.
- Hat and scarf sets under Clothing Accessories lock you into a fixed colour pair, limiting mix and match with other outfits.
Care & maintenance
Natural wool care
Wool and merino wool hats need hand wash or gentle wool cycle, then dry flat to keep shape.
Cotton wash
Cotton and organic cotton beanies tolerate 30 degree machine washes, but check flower or bead trim first.
Synthetic care
Acrylic yarn hats survive machine washing, yet reshape them while damp to reduce piling.
Embellishments
Any hat with embellishments (tweed with beads, crochet with flowers) should be spot cleaned to protect decoration.
