When it comes to keeping your little bundle of joy cosy and stylish, knitwear is a must-have. At Purebaby, our organic collection of baby knitwear is all about softness, durability, and sustainability. You can rest easy knowing your baby is dressed in comfort, style, and fabrics that are kind to the planet.
Baby knitwear is super versatile, with styles to suit every need. Knitted jumpers and cardigans are perfect for everyday warmth and easy layering. Their simple, easy-to-wear designs make dressing a breeze, helping keep your little one snug without any hassle.
If you're looking for all-in-one comfort, knit rompers and overalls are a great option. They give your baby freedom to move around while still offering warmth and coverage. And of course, hats and mittens add that extra layer of cosiness, keeping tiny hands and heads warm on those chilly days. Purebaby’s collection of baby knitwear offers all these styles and more, designed thoughtfully to keep your little one comfortable through every season.
So what fabrics should you look for when shopping for knitwear? Organic cotton and merino wool are the go-to materials for softness, breathability, and comfort, especially for delicate skin. These fabrics are gentle, non-toxic, and safe, making them the ideal choice for your little one’s wardrobe.
Our stretchy designs offer room to move, so your baby can stay comfy all day. Plus, easy fastenings like buttons or zips make dressing even quicker and easier for busy parents.
Just like you, your baby’s wardrobe needs to shift a little with the seasons. Light knitted jumpers are perfect for autumn, while thicker wool pieces like those in our On the Farm Collection will keep them snug during the colder winter months. Layering is also key to ensuring they stay comfortable no matter the temperature. A thin knit under a heavier one is perfect for layering in the cooler months, while breathable layers are ideal for warmer seasons.
Whenever we can, we choose organic, and for good reason. Organic fabrics are not only safe for sensitive skin, but they’re also more sustainable and better for the environment. By choosing organic knitwear, you're making a positive impact on the planet while dressing your baby in soft, gentle fabrics.
Our organic cotton and wool baby knitwear are designed to last, meaning you'll get more wear out of each piece—perfect for passing down to younger siblings or friends. For more on sustainable gifting and eco-friendly parenting, check out our Eco-Friendly Baby Shower Gifts article.
Babies grow fast—everyone knows that! When choosing the right size, we recommend opting for something a little bigger so it lasts longer as your baby grows. This way, they’ll stay comfortable while getting plenty of wear out of their knitwear.

To keep your baby’s knitwear looking and feeling its best, proper care is essential. Gentle washing in cold water, flat drying, and careful storage will help maintain the softness and shape of the fabric. Always follow the care instructions on the label to ensure your baby’s knitwear stays in top condition for longer.
Babies grow quickly, and that includes outgrowing their clothes - knitwear included - so it’s essential to update their wardrobe to ensure the fit is comfortable and practical. Knitwear that once fit perfectly may become snug or uncomfortable, and it's always best to replace items before they no longer serve their purpose.
Seasonal changes also play a big role in the types of knitwear your baby needs. As the weather shifts, you may need thicker wool pieces for winter warmth or lighter cotton knits for cooler spring and autumn days.
If you're wondering what to do with those outgrown clothes, we’ve got some ideas! You can repurpose or recycle them in a number of ways. Check out our article on What to Do with Old Baby Clothes for inspiration. Or, Purebaby’s Pre-loved Program offers a wonderful way to pass on or donate your baby’s items, helping other families while keeping your baby’s wardrobe fresh and sustainable.
With soft, breathable fabrics, you can feel good about dressing your growing babe in pieces that are gentle on their skin and kind to the planet.
