I very unfortunately have a pea head - which one?

Tonight1 · 2023-12-30T23:43:54+00:00

My head is small so I've started looking at children's hats as adult women's are too big for me and look ridiculous. Which one out of these two?

ALonelyRoad · 30/12/2023 23:53

The bow on the red one makes it look childish. For that reason, I'd vote cream.

herewegoroundtheblueberrybush · 31/12/2023 00:01

Oh come on 😂 both of those hats are styled for babies . I've seen tonnes of nicer bobble hats in the kids depts that would suit an adult

confusedbythesystem · 31/12/2023 00:01

Red, but cut the bow off!

Cincinnatus · 31/12/2023 00:02

Are you my mum? This is a running joke between us!

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 31/12/2023 00:03

Neither, sorry OP! can you find a plainer one? The bows and scallops make them both look babyish to me.

oneflewoverthe · 31/12/2023 00:04

I have a small head but I wouldn't wear either. They look ridiculous

They look like kids hats.

Look at teenager size.

Neither ! Can you go on Etsy and have someone make a custom one ? There are lots who can knit a hat to your measurements.

Justmuddlingalong · 31/12/2023 00:15

I'd spread your search beyond Monsoon, tbh. There are many kids hats out there that look more grown up.

dontgobaconmyheart · 31/12/2023 00:41

What's the circumference of your head OP?

I also very definitely have a pea head and I do agree it can be more difficult to find a decent hat but it's certainly not impossible. These both look like novelty sort of toddlers hats that one puts on a small child to be cute rather than functional or everyday dressing.

Have you tried buying a cheap adults one that looks on the small side and whacking it on a hot wash and tumble to shrink it down a bit?

Show quote history

My lovely mum has a tiny head and a few years ago we came up with ‘pea head’ to describe it. She has a nightmare finding hats. She was given a hat for Christmas and surprise surprise it didn’t fit so she gave it to me 🤣 Never in my life have I heard anyone else describe their head as a pea head so this thread really made me laugh… sorry OP, in a good way though!

adultsizedogbed · 31/12/2023 11:32

Just get a plain boys or girls hat from next or h and M .. weird you would want a babies hat 🤦‍♀️

No it's not a babies hat, it's up to age 13.

I'll have a look in M&S next week.

Hi OP! I am have massive football sized head wobbling about on my thin stalk neck! I need massive man sized hats! No advice just thought I would sympathise.

Gnomegnomegnome · 31/12/2023 12:27

I always shrink hats accidentally. Try that

mrsbyers · 31/12/2023 12:28

I love the red one

adultsizedogbed · 31/12/2023 12:43

But no 13 year old would wear those ! 🤦‍♀️

You can get plain coloured kids stretchy hats anywhere .
