Kids are the greatest gift – that’s about as cliché as it gets! And now you can even dress your kid as a present. Because this sweater is fitted with a gift wrap cord and pretty ribbon in front. The next not-so-ugly Christmas sweater perhaps?

The sweater is knit bottom up in the round, body and arms separately. They are then placed together, and the yoke is knit with raglan decreases and decreases for the neckline in front. The ribbing at the bottom of the body and arms, and the neck are knit in contrast colour. At last, you pick up stitches for the gift wrap cord around the body and up and down the front and back of the sweater. The cord is knit with I-cord cast off.

Sizes are from 1-10 years, with instructions on how to make adjustments to ensure a good fit.

The sweater is knit with one thread of baby merino and one thread of kid silk held together, making it soft, fluffy and cozy.
