Baby Girl Sweaters, Hand-Knit by Makers

Baby girl sweaters come in two everyday shapes: open-front cardigans, which slide on without tugging over the head, and pullovers, which need a wide envelope or button neckline so they clear the ears. Cardigans are the easier gift; you can layer one over a bodysuit and unbutton it for diaper changes. Size up the way you would any baby piece. A 6-12M ordered for a newborn buys a full winter of wear, and makers often list chest width and body length in inches, which beats the labeled age. Fiber decides warmth and care. Cotton and bamboo-cotton blends are washable and breathable for indoor layering; merino and alpaca run warmer and pill-resistant but usually need hand-washing. Check that buttons and pom-poms are double-stitched and skip loose ribbon ties. Hand-knit pieces show even tension and tucked-in ends. Budget about $28-$55 for cotton cardigans, $50-$110 for hand-knit merino or alpaca, and $35-$70 for embroidered or bonnet sets. Ready stock ships in 3-7 business days; hand-knit and monogrammed orders run 2-4 weeks.
