personalized single whale hat

One whale at the crown with a name or initials beneath. Quiet, well drawn, and the design people choose when a whole pod feels like too much.

Each hat is made to order in the USA in a soft, hardwearing acrylic that holds its shape wash after wash. Choose your base and accent from twenty-nine colors, and it becomes a piece made for one child alone.

• Three sizes, Small (0-1 year), Medium (1-4 years), Large (4+ and Up/Adult)
• A name or initials, up to nine characters
• Antique Roman lettering, in uppercase, the typeface is part of the design, so there is no font to select
• Twenty-nine colors to choose from, for both base and accent
• Made from 100% high-quality acrylic, will never fade or shrink
• Made Proudly in the USA

Children's head sizes vary so please select size carefully. Because our hats are handcrafted, slight size variances can occur due to design and yarn color choices.

• SMALL, 0 - 1 year old, approximately 17″ circumference
• MEDIUM, 1 - 4 years old, approximately 20″ circumference
• LARGE, 4+ and Up/Adult, approximately 22″ circumference

Is a personalized hat a good new baby gift?
A favorite for exactly that. It is the gift that gets worn out of the hospital and photographed all winter.

How does it differ from Many Whales?
This carries one larger whale at the crown. Many Whales sends a pod around the entire hat.

Which colors work best?
Navy with Bleached White, Country Blue with Off White, or Turquoise with Sand. The single shape holds a soft pairing well.

Is there a matching blanket and scarf?
Yes, the same whale in the same colors across all three.

Which size should I choose?
Small suits a baby up to a year, at roughly a seventeen-inch head. Medium covers one to four years at about twenty inches, and Large fits four years through adult at around twenty-two. If a child falls between two sizes, take the larger, the knit has give, and a hat that lasts two winters is the better gift.

100% Skein Acrylic:

• As easy to love as it is to care for: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat.
• To maintain quality and avoid pilling, wash separately, especially from cotton towels or mixed fabrics.
• When possible, wash alone for best results.

Please note that colors might vary in intensity as we hand-dye all our yarn. Personalized pieces are made to order and cannot be returned, please check your spelling before ordering.
