Jr Scrappy Birthday Breton was inspired by my advent calendar scraps, screaming to become a birthday present for my little boy turning 1.
The multicoloured, scrappy stripes create a fun and playful yet minimalistic look.
It’s worked top down with raglan sleeves, and a buttoned neckline for easy dressing and undressing for the little ones.
I chose 6 months as the smallest size as I personally found sweaters to be unpractical before that point, however working a size 6 months and rolling up the sleeves will work for a younger baby as well.
Note that all sizes have some extra length in both the sleeves and body so that it can be worn for a long time!
