This is not your ordinary knitted hat from Granny, this is from Granny’s Garden. Rona is a Granny from Halifax, Nova Scotia and knits these beautiful hats. All the hats she makes are taken from ideas like strawberries, cupcakes, and even berry pies! Her creative designs and life like creations even look good enough to eat.

Granny Rona gave us a strawberry hat to test out. I knew I could expect a few good reactions from people, but I did not expect the attention we received. Everyone noticed her hat, moms, dads, kids, even teenagers, everywhere we go people comment on her hat. Some of the comments are “Oh My, that is a strawberry on her head”, or “that is the cutest thing I have ever seen”. It is really cute and it looks really good on my baby’s head.

Granny’s Garden doesn’t stop at at just making food hats, she also makes Souwesters, which is a traditional Maritime hat, and aviator hats too. You can also customize your hat. I would love the aviator in pink, how cute would that be? These hats aren’t just for girls, if you look in the custom section on Granny’s Garden website, you can see how talented Rona is, she makes frogs, bears, even hockey team hats. Whatever you see on the site, she can make for you in any colour you like. A personalizd hat from Granny.
Like I mentioned before, my mother doesn’t sew or knit, so everything I have for our baby girl is manufactured. It feels so nice to have her wear something that you know was made by hand and made with love. Rona’s work is exceptional, even the inside of her knitting looks perfessional. My grandmother who can no longer knit gave it her seal of approval!

The hat that I received from Granny Rona was a little big for our baby, but I just took a safety pin rolled the top and voila, it fit prefectly. Rona will exchange any hat you have if it’s too big or too small, but I just love this hat it so much, I wanted it a bit big so baby would be able to wear it for a long time.

I met with Rona at her house and enjoyed spending time with her going through all her great creations. She is very friendly and has a very upbeat spunky personality which shines through in each of her beautiful hats. For a grandmother she has a lot of energy and really enjoys her retirement. She takes pride in her work and you will be getting a quality piece of art from her.
Granny Rona’s creations don’t even stop there, she also makes matching booties, can you imagine the Wicked Witch of the West Hat and booties? Or a bumblebee? How perfect is that for Halloween? Keep your kids warm and looking great, what a great idea!

I know I put a lot of pictures in this post, but I just really want everyone to see how diverse and creative these hats and booties are. If you have something you would like and don’t see it on Granny’s Garden website, contact Rona. I’m sure she will be able to whip something up for you.

I would have to say i don’t even have kids and this is a tough decision!! I like the strawberry a lot but ultimately i would have to choose the bee.. keep kids busy like bees and they will sleep like rocks at night
THESE are absolutely AMAZING!!! I could not choose so my 4 year old did … the berry pie, and the violet and the red roses, the pastel bouquet, the bumble bee, the cookie the pointsetta, … and then the older one started … she wants one in size 7 … GREAT JOB!
The strawberry hat!
Can I tell you how much I adore the Wicked Witch of the west with the booties? LOVE them!!! But if I had to pick one I would pick the breast cancer awareness one and send to my best friend who is just recovering from a mastectomy.
Oh my!! I don’t know how anyone would ever pick just one!!! I LOVE the fruit ones….cherries, strawberry, watermelon, and also two of the floral ones…the pastel bouquet and Red Roses. But I also loved the ladybug one!!! SOOOOO cute!!
The dreidel hat is my favorite. I should buy that for my godson!
All of these hats are so beautiful and creative! I absolutely love love love the bumble bee hat!
Wow, these are just too cute! How can I narrow it down? If I bought one for one of my boys I’d go for the aviator hat but if I decided to get one for my newborn niece I’d choose between cherries, ice cream sundae, berry pie or violet. I just couldn’t narrow it down more!
