Buckeye is a lovely, gender-neutral infant jacket sized to fit active little baseball fans from newborn to toddler. Knit in all cotton Valley Yarns Montague, this baby sweater features a classic baseball style with contrasting color raglan sleeves, I-cord edged faux pockets, and a ribbed collar. The cardigan is knit in one piece from the bottom up to the underarm. The sleeves are worked separately in the contrast color and then seamed to the body.
