Classic Raglan Cardigan - Newborn

These cardigans are a sweet and simple addition to any outfit. The classic design lends itself to a boy or girl making it the perfect gift at a baby shower, especially when gender is a surprise. Ideal for wearing in the car or stroller as the 4-ply fabric ensures warmth without the bulk. Would be a lovely addition to a going home outfit (frame the cardigan along with a photo of baby wearing it as a super sweet reminder of how small they once were). Closes with 2 little wooden buttons.

Newborn size available in cream, grey, navy, light pink, mint or lilac. Please let me know in the comments section which colour you would like when ordering. Matching rolled brim hat can be added for only $15 - there is a separate listing for this in the shop.

Sleeve (from underarm) – 12cm

I choose to knit with 100% merino fibre as it has many advantages for baby wear:
• Soft and flexible on the skin, not prickly
• Extremely warm and cozy without adding bulk
• Breathable, moisture wicking and temperature regulating
• Odour resistant

Por Vida knits are easy to care for – a swish and rinse in a basin of cold or warm water is best, but if you want to machine wash, simply do up the buttons, pop into a delicates bag and select a cold water gentle cycle. Lie flat in the shade to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach or rub.

Each item is knitted by hand in a smoke free and pet free environment. I hope that you and baby love your Por Vida purchase. If you feel that it’s not quite right for whatever reason, please get in touch.
