Two pointelle hats, two different jobs

Both hats share the same soft pointelle look and 100% certified organic cotton, but they are built for different moments. The Pointelle Sun Hat is a double-layered hat with delicate ruffles and a self tie, sized for toddlers. The Pointelle Sweater Hat is a shaped knit hat with an adjustable link-stitch hem, sized for babies from 3-6m through 12-18m. Your choice comes down to season, coverage, and how much washing the hat will see.

Sun Hat: shade, tie, and toddler sizing

  • Pointelle Sun Hat: Double layered construction with delicate ruffles and a self tie. The ruffles are designed to shade your toddler, and the self tie is intended to keep the hat in place during active play.

  • Pointelle Sun Hat: Available in L (18-24m) and XL (24-36m), both in seafoam. This hat is sized for toddlers, not newborns. If you need a first hat for a younger baby, the Sweater Hat starts at XS (3-6m).

  • Pointelle Sun Hat: 100% certified organic cotton with low impact dye; machine wash cold. The machine-wash care makes it practical for a hat that will be worn outdoors and washed often.

Sweater Hat: knit coverage and baby sizing

  • Pointelle Sweater Hat: Shaped pointelle hat with an elegant link stitch hem, adjustable for the perfect coverage. The adjustable hem lets you fine-tune how much of the hat covers the head, which is useful as a baby grows or on breezy days.

  • Pointelle Sweater Hat: Available in XS (3-6m), S (6-12m), and M (12-18m), in graphite or ecru. This is the hat with a true baby size range, including a 3-6m option. It is also the matching accessory to the pointelle cardigan.

  • Pointelle Sweater Hat: Hand made from 100% certified organic cotton with low impact dye; hand wash cold. The hand-wash care reflects the hand-made knit construction, so plan for a gentler laundry routine.

Side-by-side: what actually differs

Use this comparison to match the hat to your baby's age and the weather, not just the look.

  • Age range: Sun Hat: L (18-24m) and XL (24-36m). Sweater Hat: XS (3-6m), S (6-12m), and M (12-18m).
  • Coverage and hold: Sun Hat: double-layered with ruffles for shade and a self tie to keep it in place. Sweater Hat: shaped knit with an adjustable link-stitch hem for coverage.
  • Colors: Sun Hat: seafoam only. Sweater Hat: graphite or ecru.
  • Care: Sun Hat: machine wash cold. Sweater Hat: hand wash cold.
  • Material: Both: 100% certified organic cotton with low impact dye.

Which hat fits your baby's season

If your toddler will be outdoors in sunny weather, the Pointelle Sun Hat is the clearer pick. Its double layer and ruffles are designed to shade the face and neck, and the self tie helps keep it on during play. It is sized from L (18-24m) upward, so it is not a newborn hat.

If you are dressing a baby from 3-6m through 12-18m, the Pointelle Sweater Hat covers that range. The adjustable hem helps you set the coverage, and the graphite or ecru options make it easy to match with other pieces. It is a knit hat, so treat it as a cool-weather or layering accessory rather than a sun hat.

Care routines that keep each hat wearable

The two hats have different wash instructions, so separate them in your laundry routine.

  • Pointelle Sun Hat: Machine wash cold, per the care information. This suits a hat that sees sunscreen, sweat, and outdoor dirt.
  • Pointelle Sweater Hat: Hand wash cold, per the care information. The hand-made knit and adjustable hem benefit from a gentler wash.

What the records do not confirm

The supplied information does not include UPF ratings, sun-protection test results, or safety certifications for either hat. It also does not confirm newborn suitability for the Sun Hat, since its smallest listed size is L (18-24m). For the Sweater Hat, the records do not state a minimum age below XS (3-6m). Treat these as open questions and check the product page or contact TANE organics if you need that detail before buying.
