This pattern uses a gorgeous luxury yarn Noro Silk Garden Sock (40% lambswool, 25% silk, 25% nylon, 10% kid mohair), bordered with a touch of soft merino 4-ply yarn. The lambswool offers warmth while the silk gives the garment a lovely lustre. The nylon adds strength to the yarn and the kid mohair offers light warmth and extra softness.

The handle of the yarn, the gentle colour transitions and the repetition of the lace pattern makes for addictive knitting.

This jersey has been specially designed to enhance the effect of Noro’s fabulous yarn. It is knitted in the round and with the yoke as one piece to allow continuous striping of the yarn around the garment. The open neck design makes it easier to get over baby’s head, with no buttons to pose a safety hazard.

As individual balls of yarn vary, each jersey will be different. A unique gift for a special baby!
