A warm hat for tinies to talls and everyone in between!
This cozy hat keeps precious heads from Newborn to Adult X-Large toasty warm! The helmet style is knitted from the top down and reflects the actual shape of the head, leaving an opening for the face, but covering the back of the head and the ears.
