Cotton Knit Baby Set - Heart Check Cardigan and Trousers, 3 Months to 3 Years
$32.99
A heart and check knit set that buttons at the front
A two-piece knitted baby set: a button-front cardigan patterned with a check and heart motif, and matching long trousers. The pattern is knitted in rather than printed on top, so it sits flush with the surface and will not crack, peel or lift in the wash.
A medium-weight knit for spring and autumn, worn over a bodysuit on a cool morning or on its own indoors. The cardigan buttons at the front, so nothing is pulled over the head.

Fabric and safety
A soft-finished cotton knit with a smooth face and enough weight to hold the pattern definition without feeling heavy on a small child.
The set is graded safety class A - the strictest of the three textile safety grades and the one required for clothing worn by infants under three. It sets tighter limits on formaldehyde, pH and colour fastness than the grades applied to older children's and adult clothing.
Size guide
Measurements are flat, in centimetres, and may vary by 1-3cm between batches. Chest is a half-measurement, so the full circumference is double the figure shown.
| Size | Approx. age | Cardigan length | Sleeve length | Chest (flat) | Full chest | Trouser length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 66 | 3-6 months | — | — | — | — | — |
| 73 | 6-9 months | 32 cm | 28 cm | 26 cm | 52 cm | 40 cm |
| 80 | 9-12 months | 34 cm | 30 cm | 27 cm | 54 cm | 43 cm |
| 90 | 18-24 months | 37 cm | 32 cm | 28 cm | 56 cm | 45 cm |
| 100 | 2-3 years | — | — | — | — | — |
Flat measurements for sizes 66 and 100 are not published by the maker. Contact us before ordering those sizes and we will confirm them.
Fit notes
The size number is the child's height in centimetres, so size 80 is cut for a child of around 80cm rather than a set age. Height is the more reliable guide here.
The set is cut close to the body. If your child is between two sizes, take the larger size. The cardigan can be worn open or buttoned. The waistband stretches over a nappy and the cuffs turn up on smaller sizes.
Styling
The cardigan works over a plain bodysuit or long-sleeve top, and since the pattern is doing the work everything else can stay solid. Add plain booties and a solid cotton hat.
Care
- Hand wash below 30°C, light and dark colours separately
- Fasten the buttons before washing to stop the placket stretching
- Dry flat and reshape while damp - do not wring or twist
- Dry away from direct sunlight; do not soak for long periods
- Loose cotton fibres on a new garment rinse away in the first wash
- Light pilling is normal on knitted cotton - lift pills with a fabric shaver
What is not included
The set is the cardigan and trousers only. Hats, booties, socks, bodysuits, blankets and toys in the photographs are styling props and are not supplied.
