Soft, dreamy stripes and classic silhouette create a sweater for baby that is both comfy and cozy. The color changing yarn makes the striping easy and beautiful.

The sweater has raglan sleeves for minimal finishing, an easy cable that does not require a cable needle, and front button placket. Sweater is knit flat in one piece for back and fronts with sleeves joined at the yoke. Neck and front bands are added.

The hat has practical ear flaps easily knit into the contour and a basic, rounded shape.

The all-over ribbing stitch gives lots of stretch to make one size fit a growing baby for quite a while for both sweater and hat.
