Paralia, which means “beach” in the Greek language, is an easy and fun pattern, made to protect your baby from the sun whilst also being good for their health and the environment.

Designed using soft, organic sport-weight cotton yarn to keep the hat breathable, hypoallergenic and gentle on delicate skin, while helping to regulate your baby’s body temperature and absorb moisture.

Choose your baby’s colour scheme to make it truly theirs.
