Bai Yun Baby Hat

Bai Yun Baby Hat

You can finally make your little panda a hat that captures his spirit! This Bai Yun Baby Hat is just the most adorable little panda knit hat out there. It will be impossible to "bear" once your baby grows out of it! The blue and white is great for a baby boy, but we recommend pink and white for a baby girl, or classic black and white for a baby whose sex you don't know yet. The little tassels at the ends are just the finishing touch to this precious baby knit hat.
