Gorgeous baby sweater with cable detail created by Pom Pom Knit.

This baby top is built from one continuous piece that unfolds like a soft little cross, with the neck opening formed at the center. It’s worked in a fine 3-ply merino that keeps the fabric light, warm, and gentle against the skin. Seed stitch frames the structure, giving the garment a subtle texture, while three repeating 10-stitch cables run through the design to add definition and a bit of classic charm. The sleeves begin as narrow bands, then the wide section grows outward with large increases that shape the front, back, and shoulders in one uninterrupted flow.

The neck is formed by separating the fabric into two halves and working them at the same time before joining again, keeping the stitches clean and the line smooth. The shaping is simple, the construction intentional, and the finish minimal — just a small button at the neckline to close it neatly. This piece feels handcrafted in the best way: soft yarn, straightforward stitches, and a thoughtful layout that wraps a baby comfortably without fuss.
