This matching pullover and cap will dress any child in contemporary style. The pullover features a classic silhouette with crew neckline, indented sleeves, and a buttoned shoulder for ease in dressing. The body is patterned in casual stripes and checks; the sleeves are plain. 1/1 ribbing is used on all edges, which are tipped with a contrasting color. The hat is traditionally styled and include earflaps and ties to keep small heads warm. The checkerboard stripe motif is repeated in a single band. An I-cord loop finishes the top.
