This is just the sort of wool sweater that will hit the spot for any child. Instead of a dreaded scratchy pullover that is too bulky to fit within a winter coat, this soft and smooth garment fits more like a shirt. This simple design actually combines a top-down construction with a circular yoke and raglan hybrid for maximum comfort. The close fit allows for ease of movement without being overly restrictive or tight. Best of all, this sweater can grow with a child. The simple rolled hem and cuff can easily be lengthened as the child grows and the elbow patches can be adjusted.
