To customize your hat, click the “Add to Cart” button. You will see several drop-down menus. From these, you will choose the size and type of yarn (acrylic is the standard); from the second, you will choose the primary color based on the pictures below. This color will be the main color of the hat; from the third menu, you will choose the secondary color (the stripe and mixed in with the braids). If you do not see a color listed in the drop-down menu, that means it is no longer available.

**Please show caution when allowing the baby to wear this hat because the braids could pose a strangulation hazard. Because of this, the hat should only be worn when under constant supervision and/or as a photography prop.**
When you click Add to Cart, you will see yarn options. If you would like acrylic yarn, there is no extra cost. However, if you would like a wool, wool-blend, or cotton yarn, there is an added charge.
While hand-washing is always preferrable, this hat is machine-washable. Wash in cold water. Dry either on a tumble-dry setting or by laying flat.
Please note: these instructions are for acrylic yarn. If you choose a wool- or cotton-yarn, the washing instructions will be included with your hat.
