Knot Hat in Twilight

Knot Hat in TwilightA steady steel blue knot hat for foggy first months. The color of the sky just after the porch light flicks on, this little knot hat is a steady, muted steel blue that suits a baby being carried in from the car half asleep. The top ties off in a soft topknot, and the brim folds up for one more snug turn around the ears. There is nothing busy about it, which is the charm: it goes with the striped onesie, the hand me down sweater, the going home outfit,

settles a quiet softness over the room

Pull them on and the chill stays outside where it belongs

prancing horses and little hearts circling across a soft baby-pink fairground

It is illustrated-storybook sweet - the kind of print you keep finding new details in

lived-in shade of your most-reached-for tee

made for warm evenings and the kind of day you wish you could stretch out forever

nowhere urgent to be

sets the tone for this gentle gown

the no-show cut stays smooth

like a walk under tall trees with no place to be

like fog off the bay

An easy grey polo romper for crawl-and-climb days
