DANDELION combines stripes and simple shapes to make a really versatile little sweater for baby. The front neck fastens with a couple of buttons, making it easy to pop over baby’s head, and the touches of contrasting green add a dash of style to make an ordinary sweater something really special.

NO SEWING REQUIRED! Knitted in the round, this sweater requires no sewing up at all! So no fiddly sewing of tiny seams, and no lumpy seams to irritate baby’s delicate skin. It’s just “knit and wear”!

Designed to fit babies from new-born to 18 months old.
