This dear sweater is so charming that I wish every little child could wear one. With Perl Grey's innovative combination of kimono shaping with a pullover construction, beautiful form meets fabulous function as never before. This sweater is easy to put on (always a plus in children's clothing!), graceful to look at, at home on boys and girls, and it will stay on a playful child with no fuss or muss. The fact that it is made with organic fibers dyed with natural dyes makes it the child's sweater of the hour: a beautiful, practical design in wholesome good-for-the-earth yarn.
