Designed especially for little ones, this practical double knit sweater features a decorative pattern across the chest and loose styling for extra comfort. The functional buttons along the left shoulder are practical and could also be a decorative touch. Each part of the sweater is worked flat from the bottom up, with stitches picked up from the cast off edges to create the neck and button bands.
