OVERVIEW
The Villads Sweater is a top-down seamless raglan sweater, worked in one piece. Its classic and timeless construction makes it a versatile garment that fits comfortably on both babies and children, allowing for ease of movement and layering.
The design features ribbed edges at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, giving a snug but stretchy finish that keeps the sweater in place during everyday play and cuddles. The raglan yoke creates natural diagonal lines from neckline to underarm, ensuring a balanced fit across shoulders and chest.
Knitted from the neckline downwards, the sweater can easily be tried on during knitting, making it simple to adjust length in both body and sleeves for a personalised fit.
Inspired by little Villads, who enjoys stroller rides and cuddles with mom and dad, this sweater captures that same sense of calm and comfort.
