Red as Red can be Newborn Fiery Cotton Pixie
Description
This is an all-cotton, anti-itch, super-cute hat that will last well into the summer. Who could resist?
This soft, all-cotton hat is in a zingy bright fiery red, with contrast trims in two shades of orange. It's handmade by me on my home knitting machine then hand finished and hand sewn up. The tassel hangs down appealingly anywhere you choose to place it.
I designed my now-bestselling pixie hat shape from memories of a storybook about the circus that I had as a small child - it looks a bit like a big top tent! Since then I've made these in lots of colours and sizes, so if there's a colour you'd like please ask, I probably have your desired colour in my scarily huge yarn stash...also see my other listings for the same colour of hat in bigger sizes.
It can be gift-wrapped if you require, just ask. This is a size newborn to roughly 6 months, though please check measurements as there is no such thing as an 'average' sized baby!
Measurements:
circumference at base: 38cm
hat height (bearing in mind the tassel will hang down)29cm not including tassel
Thanks a lot for looking at Cheese at Fourpence!
Inspiration
When I was a child, I had a story book that was about life in a circus troupe: I always remembered the bright tents and drums, and this hat design stems from the evocative images in this book.
This colourscheme came from the need to brighten up the dark wintry days: this combination of reds and oranges reminds me of a cosy hearth.
I always use pure cotton for baby hats as it's non-allergenic, non-itchy and lovely and soft.
