This new born hat and cardigan set is handknitted from 100% merino wool, giving it a naturally soft, comfortable feel against delicate skin. The design is my own, created to balance gentle shaping with practical warmth and a coordinated finish. The cardigan features a green and red tartan trim, tartan-covered buttons, and a small heart motif knitted into the lower stripe for a thoughtful detail.
 
The handmade nature of the set is reflected in the careful finishing throughout, especially the tartan-covered buttons, which add character and set the piece apart from standard new born knitwear. The matching hat follows the same design elements and includes a handmade merino wool pompom that is secure, light and soft.
 
With its natural stretch, the set fits best as a premature to small new born size, offering warmth without weight and allowing comfortable movement. As a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, it makes a meaningful gift for a baby’s earliest days and a keepsake that reflects the value of thoughtful, slow craft.
Please check the listed measurements carefully before purchasing, as hand knitted toddler garments vary and fit is best determined by finished measurements rather than age alone.
