Product Description

Details

The Sleep Store Merino Knitwear Kimono Cardigan is an adorable layer for your bub. A beautiful first layer this cardigan is thoughtfully designed for comfort, warmth, and easy dressing. Crafted from 100% merino wool, it is soft, breathable, and naturally temperature regulating – perfect for keeping babies cosy through the cooler months without overheating.

Made in a smooth single jersey stitch, this knit has a clean, classic finish that feels gentle against delicate skin. Merino wool is ideal for layering, helping to keep little bodies warm while still allowing airflow, making it a reliable choice for both indoors and out.

The kimono-style wrap design makes dressing especially easy for newborns and young babies. Rather than pulling garments over the head, the cardigan wraps comfortably across the body and fastens at the side. Baby sizes feature a two-button side closure for a secure and snug fit, while size 1 includes three buttons for added coverage and adjustability as your child grows.

Available in sizing from preemie to 1 year and designed in timeless, gender-neutral colours, this cardigan pairs beautifully with bodysuits, singlets, leggings, or layered over sleepwear. It’s a versatile piece that works just as well for everyday wear as it does for special outings.
