This cardigan is a bright, sunny yellow and has three flower-like buttons closing it. It is a simple raglan sleeved design, the pattern dating back to the 1940s – and probably beyond!

It is 100% acrylic and machine washable. The chest measures 20″, it is 9 1/2 long and the sleeves are 6″ long. It would fit a 6-9 month old.

N.B. These buttons are from a craft store, and not safe if swallowed.

This cuddly sweater has extra warmth because of the stitch used. The pattern is from the 1980s, so has dropped shoulder seams. There are three buttons at the back neck to help get it over the child’s head.

The sweater is for chest 20-22″, length 10 1/2″ and the underarm sleeve seam is 6 1/2 ” long. It is 100% acrylic so is machine washable.
