The Noa Vest and Hat set combines texture and style in a charming lisaFdesign baby pattern. The vest features a combination of box stitch and cable panels, while the coordinating hat showcases textured triangle motifs.
Designed with knit-as-you-go garter armhole edgings and a practical buttoned opening, the vest is easy to dress and comfortable for little ones. This cosy set makes a perfect layering piece for seasonal outfits and everyday adventures.
