"This little newborn hat is perfect for Spring and Summer! It will be so cute for the baby to wear coming home from the hospital or riding in the stroller or buggy! It is so cute with its little flowers! It is made with 100% acrylic yarn and is totally washable. I would hand wash and air dry. It can be made in a couple hours and is so very cute! I think you will love it!"
