Browse Online For Handmade Hats For Newborns

By Kerri Stout


It's always fun shopping for babies, whether they're here already or expected soon. There are charming boutiques, and every department store has a baby section. However, it's hard to see how anything can beat online shopping for this particular niche. Handmade hats for newborns come in so many designs, each cuter than the one before, that making a choice is the only dilemma.

Of course, you may not be planning to buy one at all. If you are the kind of doting aunt, thrilled grandmother, or expectant mother who knits or crochets, you may plan to make any gift or article of clothing needed to outfit a child. If you do have the skill and desire to make your own, you'll be glad to know that there are so many patterns available that it will be hard to make a choice there. Too.

It's fun to virtual window shop, especially if you're planning on taking pictures for a baby album or a birth announcement. Seeing the designs that are available will give you great ideas on how to best present the new arrival to friends and family. There are even sets for twins and designs for kids who've grown a bit while you're getting your photographic gear together.

Baby animals are as cute as baby humans, and many of the designs for tiny ones feature ears, noses, and even whiskers. You can choose from the whole animal kingdom, but bears, bunnies, lions, tigers, puppies, cats, and monkeys are favorites. Dinosaurs are also popular; sets with cap and diaper cover can present both roaring head and spiky tail.

Babies who basically don't even have their eyes open yet look adorable in sailor caps, fireman's helmets, and hard hats, all done in softest wool or synthetic yarn. Little girls can have flowers of every hue or a lacy, jeweled turban fit for a ranee. Little boys decked out as tiny fans of sports teams or modeling sports attire that may forecast things to come will be hits with everyone.

Any of these or the many other hat styles make wonderful gifts, both practical and whimsical. Some of them are fanciful, of course, like the long stocking caps that go from head to past the toes. Others are perfect for christenings or first-time-out-in-public debuts but much too formal for everyday wear. Just think what a great keepsake they will be.

Across the country, many knitting and crocheting clubs work around the year making caps to include in layettes. Charitable organizations give starting supplies to expectant mothers or couples who need help getting things ready for Baby's arrival. Many people these days may live far from close relatives and will be touched to receive a handmade gift celebrating their baby's birth.

So, if you need a gift, are planning a 'new arrival' photo shoot, are deciding on an outreach for your club or church group, or just want an adorable hat for your little one, go online to see how much fun these tiny bonnets can be. Both girl and boy designs are represented in the wares of online companies or in patterns for knitting, crocheting, or sewing.
