Sizing and Care

 

We want you to enjoy your Big Bobble Hat for years to come! Here’s how to find the right fit and keep your hat looking its best.

What Size Is a Big Bobble Hat?

One size fits most

Our Big Bobble Hats are designed to fit most head sizes, unless a different size is stated on the product page.

Everyone’s head is different, and some people prefer a snug fit while others like their hat to feel a little looser. Our hats are designed to stretch to help give you a comfortable fit.

For smaller heads: If your hat feels a little loose, try pulling it further down at the back of your neck.

For larger heads: Our hats should comfortably stretch to fit head sizes up to approximately 61 cm.

For children: Our hats may fit children aged around 5 and over. Fit will depend on the child’s head size.

How to Look After Your Big Bobble Hat

With a little care, your hat can last for years. Follow these simple tips to help keep it in great condition.

Avoid overstretching

Stretching your hat too much when putting it on can damage its elasticity over time, causing it to become loose or baggy.

Handle your hat gently to help it keep its shape.

Take care of your bobble

Each bobble is handmade, so you may notice a few strands of yarn that are longer than others.

If you do, carefully trim the extra strands with sharp scissors.

Don't pull the strands out, as this could damage your bobble.

Try to keep your hat dry

Although some customers enjoy wearing their Big Bobble Hats while swimming, we recommend avoiding getting your hat too wet.

Excess moisture can affect the hat's elasticity and cause it to become loose or baggy.

How to Wash Your Big Bobble Hat

You can clean your hat by hand or in the washing machine.

Option 1: Hand wash

Fill a sink with warm water.

Gently wash your hat.

Allow it to dry in an airing cupboard or on a radiator.

Option 2: Machine wash

Place your hat inside a pillowcase to protect it.

Wash at 40°C, either with similar colours or on its own.

Dry in an airing cupboard or on a radiator.

Once completely dry, place your hat in the tumble dryer for 5 minutes to help fluff up the bobble and restore its appearance.
