Browse Online For Handmade Hats For Newborns

By Kerri Stout


Shopping for babies is always fun, especially when it's for something special rather than necessities like diapers. There are great specialty boutiques, and all departments sores have baby clothes. But the internet is a resource that's hard to match for variety and choice. Handmade hats for newborns are something that stores necessarily stock in limited supply, but online it seems like the selection goes on forever.

Of course, there are always grandmothers and other relatives who love to anticipate a blessed event by knitting or crocheting a gift themselves. For those with the necessary skills, there are so many patterns available that again the only problem is picking one. The choice ranges from cozy to elegant to cute, and any of them will enhance a photo op.

Virtual browsing is fun, since you might see an item that's exactly what you're looking for or one entirely new to you. Especially if you are planning a photo for birth announcements, your baby album, or emailing to your entire list, the caps and bonnets that range from cute to elegant or warmly cozy will give you the means to immortalize the fleeting moment in a picture that really will be better than words.

In fact, animals are one of the favorite themes. Bunnies are popular, as are bears, monkeys, lions, cats, and puppies. Babies look so cute with ears or even dinosaur spikes. You can add a diaper cover and have both head and tail. Knitted and crocheted caps have embroidered details; you can even have 'whiskers on kittens'.

Part of the fun is seeing the tiny models, many of whom look too young to have their eyes open. It they aren't sporting a pair of ears, they may be wearing a sailor's cap, a fireman's helmet, or a hard hat just like Daddy wears to his construction job. For the girls, there are flowers and lace and even bejeweled turbans fit for an exotic palace.

As gifts, these little bonnets are useful as well as fun. Not all are practical, though; some are merely whimsical and are more for photo ops than for wearing on an outing. There are stocking caps with long tops - maybe longer than the baby - and tassels on the end. There are lacy caps for christenings and sparkly ones to celebrate a new princess or prince.

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.
