"In neonatology, I still see it: babies weighing two kilos wearing a hat that slips down over their eyes. A hat that doesn’t fit doesn’t protect — it lets heat escape exactly where you don’t want it to. This hat fits well from 2 kilograms. That’s not a detail. That’s the point."
Yes — and that is exactly why we designed it. V
Many hats are too large for a newborn, allowing warmth to escape through the open space beneath the edge.
This hat fits well from birth, even for babies around 2 kilograms. The wide brim is adjustable, ensuring the head is always well covered.
Wool or hand wash program, max. 30°C. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat on a towel. Airing after use is almost always sufficient — merino wool is naturally self-cleaning.
Note: The hat does not need to be washed beforehand.
A true wool allergy is rare. What people often experience as an allergy is irritation caused by coarse wool fibers.
Merinowool has a much finer fiber and does not cause that irritation.
If a lanolin allergy is diagnosed, we recommend consulting a doctor.
The essence of softness. Our signature chunky beanie, now available in a serene Lavender shade. Knitted from 100% pure Merino wool: a natural fiber that breathes, doesn’t itch, and perfectly regulates your baby’s body temperature.
No synthetic blends, no compromises. Just the honest texture of heavy-quality wool that is soft enough for the most sensitive skin.
The professionals’ favorite
Our Size S is unique in its fit and is the ideal first hat even for the tiniest newborns (from about 2 kg). By folding the wide brim as you wish, you can adjust the height of the hat. This keeps the beanie perfectly in place without slipping over the eyes. It’s no coincidence that midwives and maternity care advisors specifically recommend our hats for the early days.

Why the material makes a difference for your baby
From the NICU to your baby's nursery
"Every time I see a hat that slips over the eyes, I think: this could have been done better."
After 28 years in the NICU, I see it again and again: newborns wearing hats that are too big.
A hat that doesn’t fit doesn’t protect — warmth escapes exactly where you don’t want it to.
This is especially true for babies weighing 2 kilos. They don’t need a hat that looks cute. They need a hat that stays in place.
That difference is the only reason this hat exists.
