❤️ HATS OF HOPE ❤️ The hats are …. HATS OF HOPE …..as I like to think of it…they provide a fashionable and personalized moment for these tiny little miracles but they are functional as well and provide the parents with a measure of joy with each size at how well they are doing! It is truly my honor and privilege to be able to give parents of these tiny babies hope! My daughter has two sets of twins and they were all born preemies weighing less than 3 lbs…. Through trial and error for them I was able to get the sizing just right and I always felt as they “graduated” to that next size…it was such a gift of light! They were why I started making the Preemie sizes and I absolutely love making them for all the babies! I remember it was always a relief to see they needed “the next size” which translated to the parents that they were thriving and doing well….. NAME TAG: I typically use a Blue or Gray thread color for boys hats and a Dusty Rose or Gray thread color for girls. Please leave me a note with the order if you would prefer me to use a different color when embroidering the name…. POM POM: I usually will use whatever color hat is ordered with a mix of white. For example if you ordered the Heather Gray color then the Pom Pom would be made using a mix of Heather Gray and White. If you would like a certain mix of color for the pom pom then please leave me a note with your order letting me know your preference. WASH AND CARE: HAND WASH ONLY! The hats are made with yarn that can be machine washed HOWEVER I recommend HAND WASHING lightly and then simply laying the hat on a towel to air dry. When the hats are machine washed….the name tag and Pom Pom will be compromised! Preemies hold a special place in my heart! My daughter has TWO SETS OF TWINS! They were all preemies at birth and they spent months in the NICU! I have an enormous respect for all the NICU nurses and doctors who are so dedicated to all the babies in their care and the well being of the families! I offer Preemie & Newborn size hats ....hand knit.... for babies born 1-3 lbs, 3-4lbs, 4-5 lbs and I have put together a special size for when the preemies are ready to go home! I call it a Tweener size! The Tweener size is designed for babies weighing 5-6 lbs....still a wee bit small to fit into the Newborn size but too “big” for the Preemie 4-5lb size! Baby name announcement....a truly special way of letting family and friends know the name of your baby! Every new parent (and grandparents) are excited about the birth of their child or grandchild and this hat makes such a wonderful and truly special hospital gift when visiting the new parents! It will be something they will treasure forever! These hats are truly a great way of giving the new parents a gift that is unique and special....just like their new baby!!! It can be kept as a keepsake to show them when they are grown just how tiny they once were!!! MORE Color....AND FREE MONOGRAMMED BABY NAME....the monogrammed name of the baby will be hand stitched on a piece of 14 or 16 count counted cross stitch material and then sewn into place!
