Beautiful Pointelle knitted cardigan in soft 100% baby alpaca, with wooden buttons and pockets at the front.
Baby alpaca is a silky smooth and natural fibre for sensitive skin. We've road tested As We Grow cardigans on our children and found that even when very well loved they still look new. That is the thing that always strikes me about As We Grow pieces, great value for money because they last so well. Most of their pieces come with little pack darning threads and wooden button replacements if needed. It's these touches that make As We Grow one of our favourites.
As We Grow is all about slow fashion, creating quality clothing that lasts; is timeless and designed to grow with the child.
