Once you've got that covered, you should then look into the size. Most newborns have a head circumference of 33 to 35 cm. But the circumference can expand quite rapidly. So, you might have to give at least a two to five centimeter allowance, so they fit your kid when he or she actually gets to wear something else other than hospital garments. In any case, as long as clothes are stretchable, a child can probably wear a "negative ease" hat for a few months.

The third thing you must factor in when buying crocheted caps is the color. You'd like your child to be fashionable. But, you should also consider how something stimulates your baby or affects his or her mood. Children are receptive to the colors black, white and red. Yellow is a great alternative, however, there have been studies and reports saying that the color yellow is linked to crying. Therefore, it is advised for children not to be exposed to really bright and really dull hues. So, you have to pick a color that is vibrant, yet toned down. Most would turn to pastel colors, but there's no harm in exploring purple or teal.
