Girls' Cardigans
A girls' cardigan is the layer that goes on and off all day: over a dress in the morning, off in a warm classroom, back on for the walk home. MINOTI cardigans for girls run from newborn to age 15, so a baby's first knit and a secondary school uniform layer sit side by side. A cardigan opens at the front, so it is easier than a jumper to get on a wriggling baby or over neat hair.
Navy and blue are common school colours, so a navy cardigan for girls or a girls' blue school cardigan sits well with a polo shirt and pinafore. Check your school's list for the exact shade. A Christmas cardigan for girls does a different job, over a party dress in December. For a closer range by age, see Baby, Kids or Teen Cardigans. Knit weights vary, so check the care label before washing.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's girls' cardigans are front-opening knitted cardigans for girls aged 0 to 15, for school uniform, parties and everyday layering, in centimetre sizes where a 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm.
How many school cardigans does a girl need for the week?
Two is enough for most families: one to wear while the other is in the wash. Label both with her name. If she is just starting Reception, a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm.
What size girls' school cardigan does a 7-year-old need?
A 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If she is tall for her age, or you want the cardigan to last the whole school year, go up one to 134 cm, which is the usual size for an 8-year-old.
