Beanie Baby Crochet

You first have to consider the material that's used. Babies have sensitive skin and they are prone to breaking out when exposed to chemicals from synthetic fibers. Their heads are also quite supple. They need room to grow and breathe. Considering all of this, get a cap that is made out of cotton or acrylic, as these kinds of cloth provide enough elasticity to accommodate a child's developing head. Plus, these fabrics are soft enough to provide warmth and comfort. Another advantage with cotton or acrylic fabrics is that they are easy to maintain. Wool is also elastic, but it has a reputation for being a skin irritant. There are those that are dowsed with chemicals, like the "super wash" wool, which makes these hats more washing machine-friendly, however, it, in turn, could harm your child.

Once you've got that covered, you should then look into the size. Most newborns have a head circumference of 33 to 35 cm. But the circumference can expand quite rapidly. So, you might have to give at least a two to five centimeter allowance, so they fit your kid when he or she actually gets to wear something else other than hospital garments. In any case, as long as clothes are stretchable, a child can probably wear a "negative ease" hat for a few months.
