The matching hat completes the look with the same stitch detail for a polished, heirloom-style finish. Knitted in New Zealand Merino 4ply, the fabric is soft, breathable, and wonderfully gentle against delicate baby skin — with the natural temperature-regulating qualities that make merino a perennial favourite for baby knits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cardigan fronts and back are worked together to the armholes, reducing side seams for a smoother, more comfortable finish.
