Sweet and practical, this new silhouette for babies and little girls is A-line and a little bit longer than a standard cardigan. It looks adorable worn over a smock or dress. The cleverly designed headband uses up the leftover yarn from the contrast trim at the hem and cuff edges. Sizes range from 3 months to 4 years old.
