A pom-pom does something almost magnetic to a small child — it's the detail they'll reach for first, and the one that makes this hat feel like more than just a practical layer. It sits on top of a hand-knitted merino hat, certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, banded in a geometric border drawn from the folk knitting traditions of Bulgaria and the wider Balkan region.
That border isn't decorative filler — it's a pattern with history, the kind once knitted by mothers and grandmothers into clothes made for their own children. Here it's reimagined at a scale that fits a small head, on wool chosen specifically for how gently it treats young skin: warm without irritation, breathable enough not to overheat.
The stretchy knit gives a forgiving fit as your child grows, and the pom-pom itself is hand-made, not machine-attached — a small, tactile finishing touch typical of everything in this range.
Made in small batches by women artisans in Bulgaria, it completes the set alongside the matching Rhodope Winters gloves, jumper, and booties — ideal as a single gift or as part of a coordinated bundle.
Care: delicate or wool-cycle machine wash, cold water (max 30°C). Use a mesh laundry bag. Reshape and dry flat.
