Rabbit Skins Infant Baby Rib Beanie | 4451

Description

The Rabbit Skins 4451 is the infant beanie that shows up in hospital gift shops, boutique baby stores, and custom newborn programs for a reason. The baby rib construction gives it gentle stretch that stays put on small heads without elastic pressure, and the cotton-blend fabric keeps it soft against sensitive skin. At this size and price point, it’s the go-to for decorated infant accessories.

Who Orders It

Birth centers and hospitals order these for welcome kits and gift shop inventory. Children’s boutiques stock them as add-ons or bundle them with bodysuits. Nonprofit organizations use them for baby shower giveaways and fundraiser bundles. Photography studios keep a color range on hand for newborn sessions. Baby apparel brands building out their first product lines start here because the blank quality matches the price point for margin-friendly decorated goods.

Decoration

The ribbed knit texture holds embroidery well at smaller stitch counts — we recommend keeping designs under 5,000 stitches and centered on the front panel. Heat transfer vinyl works cleanly for names and simple graphics. Screen printing is possible but requires a light hand given the stretch and small surface area. For newborn programs, most clients go with a small embroidered logo or single-color HTV design. The fabric weight is forgiving for first-time decorators working with infant goods.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on infant beanies?
Embroidery under 5,000 stitches or heat transfer vinyl. Both hold up through washing and give a clean, professional finish on the ribbed fabric. Keep designs small — typically 1.5 to 2 inches wide.

Is this good for hospital or birth center programs?
Yes. The soft cotton blend, gentle stretch, and tear-away label make it a standard choice for newborn welcome kits, gift shop inventory, and branded birth center merchandise.

How does the sizing run?
These are true infant size — designed for newborns through approximately 6 months. The rib knit stretches to accommodate different head sizes within that range without being too loose on smaller newborns.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated infant apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
