There’s nothing worse than spending hours knitting your little one a jumper only to be told “it’s too itchy/ bulky/uncomfortable!”. Nino’s Jumper is knit on 3mm needles and ideally in cotton making it light, cool and flexible enough for even the wriggliest little toddlers. Get your little person involved and let them choose the colours they want or use whatever you have left in your yarn stash. You could even add a contrasting collar or knit the sleeves in an entirely different colour. Whatever you decide one thing is sure: this little jumper is destined to become a wardrobe staple!

Notes on Sizing

The fit of the jumper is oversized which means that all sizes have 14 cm of positive ease incorporated into the fit. The Bust Circumference shown is for the finished garment. Measure your child’s bust and add 14 cm to this measurement to determine what size you should knit. If you prefer a less oversized look then consider going down a size.
