TENCEL™ Top Knot Baby Beanie - Moon

The Loulou Lollipop Top Knot Beanie in Moon is a soft TENCEL™ Lyocell baby beanie with a sewn top-knot finish — built to sit gently on newborn scalps without elastic-banding the forehead.

TENCEL™ Lyocell with spandex for stretch and recovery. The knit conforms to head shape without pinching, and the top-knot finish reads as intentional, not generic.

Why TENCEL™ Lyocell over standard bamboo rayon? TENCEL™ wicks moisture measurably better than standard bamboo rayon, so fewer damp wake-ups and fewer mid-meal regret outfits. It also holds its softness wash after wash, where bamboo rayon starts to pill. Closed-loop manufacturing recycles the water and the solvent — a real sustainability claim, not greenwashing.

For a hat against the most sensitive skin on a newborn's body, the moisture-wicking matters: a damp hat trapped against the scalp is what causes the rash parents misidentify as cradle cap. TENCEL™ breathes, releases moisture, and dries faster.

Cut and fit. Sized for newborn through approximately 12 months. The stretch knit fits head circumferences from ~33 cm (newborn) through ~46 cm (12 months). The top knot is sewn through the crown — won't pull off, no choke-risk components.

The design. Moon is a Loulou Lollipop original design or color. Conceived in Vancouver. Limited runs — what you buy this year is the only year it'll exist.

When to use. Indoors in air-conditioned rooms (newborns lose heat fastest through the head), outdoors in cool weather, hospital-bag and going-home outfits, newborn photo sessions. Not intended for sleep — per AAP guidelines, no hats in cribs.

Coordinated wardrobe. Pair with the matching TENCEL™ Bodysuit, Bodysuit Dress, and 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ Sleep Sack for a fully coordinated newborn outfit + sleep set. Loulou's matched-design library is the differentiator — a baby shower gift can span daywear, sleep, and accessories without buying from three brands.

Safety & certification. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified facility. CPSC and CPSIA compliant. TENCEL™ Lyocell produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents. Designed in Canada by a Certified B Corp.

Care. Machine wash cold (mesh bag recommended), tumble dry low. Don't bleach. The knit holds its shape wash after wash.

Loulou's TENCEL™ position, in plain English. Most "bamboo" baby beanies are bamboo rayon viscose, which loses softness fast. TENCEL™ Lyocell from the same fiber family is softer and more durable, made with closed-loop manufacturing. A small retail premium for a fabric difference newborn skin notices in week one.

A clean piece for hospital bags, going-home outfits, newborn photography, and the first-photo album. Gift-ready packaging.

Sizing for newborn heads vs 6-month heads. Newborn head circumference is roughly 33–35 cm (13–14 in) in the first week. By 6 months it's 42–44 cm (16.5–17.5 in). The stretch knit handles this full range on one piece — no need to buy two.

Common use cases. Hospital exit photos (the matching going-home outfit). Cold-weather strollers and outdoor walks (heat loss through the head is highest in newborns). Newborn photography sessions — the soft texture photographs well against soft blankets. Baby shower gift add-on alongside a coordinated bodysuit and bandana bib.

Care reminder. The knot is sewn through the crown stitch — won't pull off, no choke-risk components. The whole hat washes flat without losing shape.
