Kids Sweater Vanilje – Top-Down Knitted and Seamless

This soft and comfortable striped sweater is knitted from the top down using circular needles and worked seamlessly in the round. The simple construction and relaxed Scandinavian fit make it a versatile everyday sweater for children.

The delicate stripe pattern and soft colour combination give the sweater its light and timeless Vanilje expression.
Because it is knitted from the top down, both the body and sleeve lengths can easily be adjusted to suit the child.
