This hand knit pink and purple baby hat is perfect for the outdoors this spring and summer! It is a pinkish hat with bright flecks of pinks and purples. It is made out of a cotton/polyester blend and has a brim on it to keep the sun out of the babies's eyes. The mostly cotton yarn with a touch of polyester will keep the hat's color bright in case you end up having to wash it and it dries faster than 100% cotton. You can adjust the brim in a number of ways to provide more or less shade. It should fit a 6-12 month old as it is about 16 inches around. You can put this is the washing machine but it is best to lay it flat and have it air dry.
