Smart kids everywhere are zipped up in this sweet little gilet, with pockets and secret pockets that could hide little pencils, notes and perhaps a little toy or two. Ideal for keeping warm when you’re riding a bike or working hard on your forest school project on a windy day! A sensible zip will keep you warm, with a knit and purl repeat that creates a diamond motif and a sturdy ribbed collar.
