Lacy and Delicate Baby Bonnet Lilac

Very intricate and light bonnet, this one is a true heirloom quality. It is lacy and has a lot of elaborate motives, which make it wonderful as a gift and also that means, it takes me quite a lot of time to make one.

I have chosen to use a thin but very warm melange of wool and alpaca for this bonnet, it provides the lightness, beautiful drape and unparalleled breathability.

▪︎ MATERIAL: 65% natural highland wool, 35% alpaca.
▪︎ CARE: Hand wash please, don’t use fabric softener, dry flat to ensure the item remains soft and mild.

*Benefits of natural wool:
– warm & comfortable, allows the skin to breathe naturally and discourages sweating, particularly for babies who haven’t learned to regulate heat very well and are prone to over-heating in synthetic fibres.
– Wool is an insulator and holds the body’s heat well. Alpaca is believed to be up to 7 times more warm than sheep’s wool!
– it is thin and perfect to wear in all seasons, not just winter.
– there will never be a need for an iron! The natural properties of merino wool ensure that it bounces back to it’s original state.

Disclaimer: Each hat is handmade and one of a kind, variations from the photos may occur.

I make every item per order, please contact me to inquire about color options.

Parisian Baby Bonnet dusty pink

Very delicate and elegant bonnet for a baby, featuring a “parisian” stitch.

For these bonnets I am using a wonderful yarn, which is made from 50% superwash merino wool and 50% cotton. This unique composition was developed especially for babies and offers many benefits:

it has a smooth and almost silky touch, with absolutely zero scratching
it combines the best of both natural materials: the warmth and elasticity from wool together with durability of cotton.
both materials are 100% natural and the skin breathes easily through the fabric, while being warm and protected at the same time
the melange of merino and cotton makes a lot of sense for mid-season (spring, autumn) and can be worn even in summer. Merino wool ensures thermoregulation, which is very important for small babies and cotton can even either hold the warmth or cool down in the summer.
Who has the time to handwash with babies??? Ahh. This bonnet can be washed in the washing machine in the delicate cycle.
Array of pastel, muted colors is available, pinks, blues, neutrals etc

▪︎ CARE: machine wash on a delicate cycle, don’t use fabric softener, dry flat to ensure the item remains soft and mild.
