A knitted hat with a bear face on it and a matching scarf, sold as a pair. The hat has a domed crown and a rolled brim that turns up over the ears, which is the part that actually keeps a small head warm on a walk.

It is what people mean by a baby winter hat and scarf set, a cartoon knitted beanie for a toddler, or a two-piece kids winter accessory set to give as a gift. Six plain colours, one size, and no fastenings to lose.

Choosing a size

One size, listed by the supplier for 4 months to 3 years. Knit stretches, so the hat that is loose on a one-year-old is the one that still fits at three. Choose by colour rather than size.

Care

Hand wash cold with a wool or delicate detergent, press the water out without wringing, and dry flat in shape. Do not tumble dry a knit this small — it comes back a size smaller and stays that way.
