Boys ribbed cardigan with zipper closure.

This is the basic cardigan for the boy in your life, sized to fit 1 - 14 years. Suitable for girls too!

Ribbed design allows the sweater to grow with him - knit the next size up for extra wear time! Due to the rib actual measurements are smaller than given, but will stretch to the stated width.

Don’t be intimidated by the zipper - it’s easier than you think! It’s a nice professional finish, and much easier than buttons for little fingers.
