Peanut Cardigan

Peanut – Handknitted Alpaca Striped Baby Cardigan

The Peanut cardigan is a delightful handknitted piece made from soft, premium New Zealand alpaca wool. With its playful stripes and cosy design, this cardigan is a charming and practical choice for any baby or toddler’s wardrobe.

Crafted with care and attention to detail, each Peanut cardigan is lovingly handknitted by skilled artisans, giving it a unique, heirloom quality you won’t find in mass-produced garments. The soft stripes add a fun and colourful touch, while the classic button-front style ensures easy dressing and layering throughout the seasons.

Alpaca wool is a luxurious natural fibre that is ideal for little ones. It’s hypoallergenic and lanolin-free, making it a gentle option for sensitive skin or babies with eczema or allergies. Unlike traditional wool, alpaca is silky-soft and itch-free—perfect for keeping babies comfortable all day long.

Not only is alpaca soft, it’s also impressively warm and breathable. This makes the Peanut cardigan a great year-round garment, offering insulation during chilly days without overheating in warmer weather. The fibre’s lightweight feel and moisture-wicking properties help regulate body temperature naturally.

Durability is another reason alpaca wool is loved by parents. The fibre resists stretching, pilling, and wrinkling, helping the cardigan retain its shape and finish even with regular wear. It’s also naturally odour- and stain-resistant, which makes caring for your baby’s knitwear that much easier.

Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or a practical piece of knitwear for everyday wear, the Peanut striped cardigan blends comfort, function, and timeless style. Proudly made in New Zealand from 100% alpaca yarn, it’s a cosy and colourful layer your little one will love wearing, and you’ll love keeping for years to come.
