Kids Handknit Merino Cardigan
Shipping calculated at checkout
Handmade with the love of Ireland, this children’s merino cardigan guarantees warmth throughout the cold autumn and winter months. This adorable cardigan spots leather—look buttons for that suave look and to keep the cold at bay. The cardigan also has the traditional cable and diamond Aran design that is classy and functional.
The 100% wool used to knit up this cardigan has unique properties that make it perfect for children’s clothes. It is breathable and naturally regulates temperature helping the child play outside comfortably and keeping them warm indoors. The wool also does not irritate the child’s tender skin and is perfect for those with skin allergies.
The wool is odour resistant and keeps mold and mildew away. Thanks to its natural elasticity, wool will stretch and not lose shape for durability. The cardigan comes in three sizes: small 6–9 months, medium 9–12 months, and large 12–18 months.
Other striking features include the following:
- The size range makes it easier to pick as a gift
- Wool moisture—wicking properties to keep the child dry
- The complex structure of wool makes it resilient to wear and tear
- The signature cable and diamond Aran design adds a layer of warmth
- Wool fibres are renewable and sustainable as each year, sheep produce fleece

A Little Bit About Us
The Sweater Shop is a family-run business that was established in 1986 by Dom Byrne and his sister Breege. Now in its second generation, the company is run by Dom’s son Paul and daughter Laura, alongside their sister-in-laws Kate and Eileen Louise, and cousin Alva, who manages the Galway locations.
The Sweater Shop remains a true family affair, built on a strong sense of heritage and deep-rooted family values. When asked by a journalist from The Irish Times in 1986 what made his shop so special, Dom proudly said: "quality, value and selection" – and that still holds true today. The large selection of superb quality Irish Aran knitwear at reasonable prices quickly became a favourite among both locals and visitors. As a result, the business expanded to include outlets around the country including Dublin, Kilkenny, and Galway City. The flagship store on Nassau Street in Dublin, located directly across from Trinity College, continues to be a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the heart of the city.
From timeless classics to modern twists on traditional patterns, there’s something for everyone in our collection — come and discover your next favourite piece instore or online.
