There is almost nothing cuter than a baby in a pilot cap. We ended up with one that came in a gift set, and the first time we tried it on Little Capucine, we could hear grandmother’s hearts melting everywhere. Guaranteed Cutest. Thing. Ever.

After we got the first one, I got addicted and started hunting up some more on Etsy. There are some really precious ones there this week.

Hand-knitted silk in several sizes (described as ‘waldorf style’, which I don’t understand - anybody else know?). $34.50 for the big-kid size at Shelley Caskey’s Etsy shop:

Knitted and felted with a lovely little red bird - I had my suspicions about the fit, but in there is a photo of a real baby wearing one so I can say it looks pretty good. $22 at ThinkingMama’s Etsy shop:

And for cold/windy/foggy places, a sweet and simple wool one. $15 at Jillbertx5’s Etsy shop:

We have this one - it’s simple white organic cotton with serged-edge ruffles, it fits really well and is a nice not-too-hot spring weight we use all the time (well, mostly because it’s so cute). It’s by Sckoon Organics, we have it in our store for $13:
