Design 1: Wrap Neck Sweater

The Wrap Neck Sweater is a classic, neat-fitting pullover featuring a distinctive wrap-style neckline — a practical and stylish choice for dressing babies and toddlers, as it allows the neck opening to be widened easily without pulling over a small head. The wrap neck detail adds a subtle layered look that is both functional and fashionable for little ones.

Design 2: Hooded Sweater

The Hooded Sweater is a cosy, practical design featuring an integrated knitted hood — ideal for keeping babies and children warm without the need for a separate hat. Hooded sweaters are perennially popular in children's knitwear because the hood is attached and cannot be lost or misplaced. The design is worked in the same Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK yarn, allowing the speckled colour effect to flow seamlessly from body to hood.
