Smile face baby bucket

Mornings at the park turn warm fast. We line this hat in soft cotton and shape a wide brim all around to throw shadow over their cheeks and neck. The muted gray green cloth looks right at home among garden weeds and playground grass.

Wide circular brim

The brim circles the crown to keep bright morning glare out of small eyes. It holds its shape without feeling stiff, casting shade across the ears and the nape of the neck while they dig in the sand.

Cotton inner layer

We line the inside with breathable cotton that rests gently against a bare head. It absorbs sweat through humid summer afternoons and stays cool while they run across the lawn.

Buckle and chin tie

A small buckle at the back adjusts the crown as your toddler grows. Under the chin, a soft tie keeps the hat from blowing across the grass when a sudden breeze comes off the water.

Packing and washing

Roll the brim flat to tuck it into the pocket of a diaper bag. When mud or spilled juice finds it, wash the cloth by hand in cool water and let it dry flat for the next outing.
