Introduction:
“Candy floss” is a classic drop down shoulder sweater that was inspired by a beautiful yarn - Puno. This sweater is perfect for Sundays and other relaxing days with the baby, when there is no rush and things flow slowly. The sweater has an oversized feel with significant positive ease and is separated in front and back at the bottom to accommodate a baby’s/toddler’s figure. It is knitted in stockinette stitch with fisherman’s rib for bottom part.
