The Heirloom They’ll Actually Wear

There is nothing quite like the pride of gifting a hand-knit sweater to a new arrival. The Fresh Squeezed Baby Pullover is designed to be as fun to knit as it is for a little one to wear. With simple stripes and a classic silhouette, this project is a cozy, washable treasure for the lucky parents.

Why the Fresh Squeezed Kit is a Favorite:

• The Seamless Experience: Worked from the top down, this sweater is one continuous, joyful knit. No bulky seams means it's extra comfortable for delicate baby skin and extra relaxing for you to finish.

• Lightweight Sport Merino: Knit with our signature Ewe So Sporty yarn, this pullover is the perfect weight for transitional seasons. It’s light, breathable, and has a beautiful drape that stays soft wash after wash.

• The 3-Ply Glide: Our round, 3-ply twist ensures that your yarn glides through your fingers and your needles. It provides crisp stitch definition for those adorable stripes and won't split while you work.

• Machine Washable Peace of Mind: We know babies are messy! This 100% merino wool is superwash, so parents can simply toss it in the wash, making it a gift they will actually use and cherish.

What’s Included in Your Yarn Kit:

Everything you need to cast on a citrus-inspired victory:

• 2 to 4 Balls of Ewe Ewe Yarns Ewe So Sporty (100% Merino Wool, 145 yards each).

• The Pattern: A printed copy and a PDF version of the Fresh Squeezed Baby Pullover pattern.

• Color Choice: Your kit includes two colors (Color A for the main body and Color B for the stripes).

Heather’s Design Note: "I love top-down sweaters because you get to the 'fun part' (the stripes!) almost immediately. Using Ewe So Sporty makes this sweater feel high-end but totally wearable for every day. It’s the perfect 'Small Win' for anyone wanting to try their first seamless garment. It truly allows you to soothe away the noise and just enjoy the process."
