Knit this adorable jumper and hat for a baby. The cute drawstring hat will top off an outfit in suitable quirky style. Mums will love the buttons at the neckline which will make the sweater easy to get over baby’s head.

This free Regia knitting pattern uses the 4-ply yarn Regia Silk. This is a super-soft blend of silk and merino wool, which creates both warmth and softness for baby’s skin. Because of its qualities, Regia Silk is often used for sock knitting, but knitters have come to love it for knitting for babies too.

Regia yarns are durable and hard-wearing which makes them ideal for babies’ and kids’ clothes, because they are robust and will stand up to lots of washes.

Made in the right choice of colours, this hat and jumper set would be perfect for a boy or girl. Try nautical colours for a boy, or a blend of denim blues for a gentler colour scheme.
