Baby Kane was inspired by dear friends expecting new twin babies. I wanted to gift them both new sweaters that were matching yet unique. The fair isle motif was perfect for this and adding the extra color at the yoke was a fun detail.

When you knit multiple sweaters change around the contrast colors for a different variation every time.

Baby sweater knit in one-piece from the top down and includes a sweet fair isle panel along the bottom body.
