Kim Hargreaves

for ROWAN

Felix (birth - age 12)

Hargreaves has faultless taste, but it doesn't always have to be fancy. This is a wonderfully thought-out sweater for the young fry that is stylish and practical at the same time. We love how the hem and cuffs (high-traffic garment areas, most especially for kids) are in a darker colour; this shows any possible wear and staining less than a lighter one would. Shoulders are a modified drop (indented once) for a spot of tailoring, and the sleeve tops are flat (ease of assembly and freedom of movement). Colour combinations are legion but the great looks remain constant. The fit is intended to be quite oversized, but you can certainly pick your own ease. This design is from the book Rowan Junior.
