I designed this simple Santa-themed hat for my son’s first Christmas. I wanted something cute to take his first Christmas photos in!

This hat has a band circumference of 15 inches, and is 9.5 inches tall without the pom pom. It was made to fit a 6 month old that was approximately 20 lbs. See photos for reference.

This can easily be sized up or down to fit a newborn or toddler. It would look adorable in newborn photos for December babies!
