Shopping for babies is always fun, especially when it's for something special rather than necessities like diapers. There are great specialty boutiques, and all departments sores have baby clothes. But the internet is a resource that's hard to match for variety and choice. Handmade hats for newborns are something that stores necessarily stock in limited supply, but online it seems like the selection goes on forever.
Perhaps you have the skills to knit or crochet a cap or bonnet. The internet is still great for ideas; one of the tiny models might have just the style that you're looking for. If you're not experienced enough to copy something you see free-hand, you'll find many patterns for new-baby accessories. The selection is so large that you may have trouble deciding which creation you want to make.

This kind of virtual window shopping is fun, even if you have nine months to go before you'll actually carry a gift to the hospital or take a picture for the birth announcements. You may think you want a simple pink or blue bonnet and end up falling for one with fuzzy brown neck hair and giraffe horns. Perhaps you don't know ahead of time whether it's a boy or a girl; a lop-eared bunny hat works for either.
In fact, animals are one of the favorite themes. Bunnies are popular, as are bears, monkeys, lions, cats, and puppies. Babies look so cute with ears or even dinosaur spikes. You can add a diaper cover and have both head and tail. Knitted and crocheted caps have embroidered details; you can even have 'whiskers on kittens'.
Most of the styles are modeled by babies that still look like kittens so young their eyes aren't opened yet. They look adorable in aviator caps complete with goggles, sailor caps, or fireman helmets. Little girl models are decked in flowers, lace, jewels, or ranee-worthy turbans. Sports themes are featured, as well, with tiny football helmets or baseball caps complete with favorite-team colors and logos.
Any of these or the many other hat styles make wonderful gifts, both practical and whimsical. Some of them are fanciful, of course, like the long stocking caps that go from head to past the toes. Others are perfect for christenings or first-time-out-in-public debuts but much too formal for everyday wear. Just think what a great keepsake they will be.
Across the country, many knitting and crocheting clubs work around the year making caps to include in layettes. Charitable organizations give starting supplies to expectant mothers or couples who need help getting things ready for Baby's arriva
