Stunning knitted cardigan inspired by the Icelandic style yoke cardigan with Icelandic alpine motif and wooden buttons knitted from 100% baby alpaca.
Baby alpaca is a smooth and natural fibre for sensitive skin. We put one of these cardi's to the test on our 8 year old in the 6-8y size and the following year it was passed down to the 5 year old and is now almost ready to be handed on again to our 4 year old. It's been very well loved and still looks new. That is the thing that always strikes us about As We Grow pieces, great value for money because they last so well. Most of their pieces come with a little darning thread and wooden button replacements if needed. It's these touches that make As We Grow one of our favourite brands.
