Little Saint & Little Sinner
These children’s’ sweaters feature original charted motifs in bright shades. The brightly striped sleeves give the sweaters a retro punk feel. The yarns are 100% wool but are from a superwash range that makes caring for the sweaters easy and that is also tickle free for sensitive skins. You can choose whether your child is an angel or a little devil, or you can knit both of these sweaters and alternate them depending on your child’s mood that day.
