a hat for Levi

Remember this cute knit hat from last winter?


I love it.
It was a handmade gift.
But now it is too small for Mr. Levi's head.
Sad.

So, I am on the hunt for a new hat for Levi.
His head has grown just a little. :o)
Not that it is cold here...it is just beginning to feel a little fall-ish.
But soon I will need to help Mr. Levi keep his head warm.
I love this one from Old Navy.
They used to have it in blue too.
But I can't find it on-line or in the stores anymore in the right size.

So, I am turning to you for help.
Where can I find a cute beanie for Levi?
I would love to find a handmade one.
Any Etsy store recommendations?

I must agree with the commenters who mentioned Carissa at alittleknitting. I LOVED the hat she made for Calla. Wish it still fit. :)

They are my all time favorite and the ones with the cute little flaps on the front look adorable on my baby boy...

I've been following since Cora was small.

I love knitting, do it all the time. Do hats for the little ones. (God won't bless us that way, but i enjoy making them, anyway.)

Would love to make a hat for Levi.

Kati Mendez said...

look up Beanies by Stacie - she's great, recently had a death in the family, but does GREAT hats and all sorts of other things! She's a friend from my mommy group and I highly recommend her!

Try MissLis's Boutique on Etsy. Friend of mine. I saw the monkey one in person but they make the cutest beanies for boys. Stripes with visor . So cute!

carrie said...

This one is my fav! I have bought at least 4 for my daughter and a newborn one for the newest. You can customize them if you don't see the color combos you like. I bought my nephews some and they were super cute. She does great work and is super quick. Check her out.

Send her a pic of Levi in it (since you take such great pics) and you'll get a discount on future purchases.

Here is my son in his hat from last year on her Etsy site http://www.etsy.com/listing/56524488/infanttoddlerboys-crochet-visor-beanie

I had a knit hat from baby gap that I loved b/c it was lined for extra warmth. Maybe some of the handmade ones are lined...but I haven't seen any.

Hi Jess, I sent you a email at your contactthemacs@yahoo.com. I don't know if you check this often. I attatched some picture of a cute set for you. Anything will be adorable on little Levi, he is so handsome! God Bless, Trisha

mbarker said...

flapperfashions on etsy is way cute and unbelievable prices! She hand knits them and does wonderful custom orders too!

Jane said...

Jess I read this post and laughed because I knew that people would not be able to resist offering to make your gorgeous Levi a hat - and looking through these comments I was right!

I would love to add my offer to the earlier ones but there's only so many hats a little fella needs!

Looking forward to seeing his new duds!

Try Nora & Finn. They have the cutest hats, including some monkey hats that are adorable if you're not set on a beanie!
