Riva Alpaca Baby Cardigan – Hand-Knitted Soft Baby Knitwear with Elegant Pattern Detail

The Riva alpaca baby cardigan combines timeless design with the unmatched comfort of alpaca wool. Hand-knitted using alpaca fibre grown on our New Zealand farm, this cardigan features a delicate pattern running down the front and sleeves—adding refined detail to a baby wardrobe staple.

Alpaca wool is a dream fibre for babies. It’s incredibly soft, lanolin-free, and naturally hypoallergenic, which makes it perfect for delicate or eczema-prone skin. The breathable nature of alpaca helps regulate your baby’s temperature, offering warmth without overheating and comfort all day long.

The Riva cardigan’s wraparound softness, paired with its flexible fit, ensures your baby stays cosy and comfortable while moving, resting, or playing. The classic button front makes it easy to put on and take off, while the fine patterning adds charm to any outfit—from everyday layers to more dressed-up moments.

Each cardigan is hand-knitted by local artisans, ensuring quality craftsmanship and ethical production. You can choose from a selection of natural and dyed alpaca yarns, or request your own colour combination to create something truly personal.

This piece of soft baby knitwear is a thoughtful gift for new parents or a cherished addition to your little one’s wardrobe—perfect for babies who deserve only the best.
