The sweater is made of 100% merino wool and hand-knitted with love in Ireland displaying authentic Aran stitching that represents a rich and authentic Irish heritage. The garment features an adorable sheep image stitched onto the torso to give your baby the cutest look when worn over a shirt and khaki pants. Alternatively, the natural color lets you pair the sweater with any outfit to bring out the best of your child’s smartness.
Children are naturally active and merino wool is also naturally elastic which stretches with your child and returns to its original shape every time. Other exciting features that come with the sweater include:

- Available in small, medium, and large sizes
- Antimicrobial qualities of merino wool prevent mold growth
- Extremely fine merino wool fibers are soft on your child’s skin
Care Guide
While our sweaters are a great choice, because they are warm and durable, proper care should be always taken to protect your garment. We recommend all of our sweaters and wool garments are gently hand washed with a mild wool detergent, reshaped by hand and dried flat. If soaked for too long, the wool may shrink and become hard.
Alternatively, most of our sweaters can also be dry cleaned but always check the care label first. Under no circumstances should you machine wash or tumble dry your sweater or any other wool product. Remember, when you give your sweater great care, it will last you for a long time.

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.
