I was very excited to recieve these hats but was highly disappointed with how NOT super soft they are. Its not your traditional crochet soft cotton material. My daughter actually HATES wearing these hats and would cry when I put them on (which she doesnt with other hats). To top it off, when I do try to leave them on for more than an hour (because I want my moneys worth), her head looks like a checkers board. Mind you, shes only 3 months old. Really really disappointed in losing $25!
