Little Nomad is a sweet, travel-worthy romper designed with far-away destinations in mind: a gorgeous Fair Isle yoke suitable for visits with family, a bottom button-placket to keep the sweater snugly in place, and extra room in the tushie to accommodate a diaper comfortably. With sizes from 3 months up to 18 months, you can rest assured knowing you have an on-the-go sweater that will be as comfortable for your child as it was enjoyable to knit.
Modeled by my four-month old son, who weighs about 15½ lbs. 7 kg here and is wearing the smallest size made with Caspian (main color) and Audouin (contrast color) colorways.

The pattern has been tested and tech-edited.
