This bubbly sweater in a delicious strawberry ombre color is knit in top down raglan with a unique stitch pattern that resembles bubbles that are not your ordinary bubble stitches but better! They are a combination of 2x2 rib stitches and slip stitches which leaves no long strands of yarn inside the sweater making it ideal for babies with little fingers that often get caught in them. Other design elements are incorporated so that it’s gentle and comfortable for your baby’s sensitive skin - all hems are rounded and no seams! This means there are a few techniques that require a bit of work and practice but I can assure you the end result will be worth it!

Available in three sizes: 6-12 months old babies, 1-2 year old, and 2-3 year old. The last size will require a yarn and needle change because the bubbles will look too small on a bigger sweater.
