Gorm Sweater Baby is classic and timeless. The sweater is worked top down in stockinette stitch with long sleeves. At the neck a slit is worked that is closed with a small button. At the body, a pattern with 3 contrasting colours is worked, using the fair isle technique. Ribbings at body and sleeves are worked, before they are finished with double face and bound off with the italien method. The neckline is shaped with short rows (here: German short rows).

Customer Reviews

Soft, yes — but pilled badly after only one wear (my baby rubbed against a wool blanket). Buttons look nice but one popped off during washing. Disappointed because I’d read the reviews and expected durability. Shipping was fine (5 days), and the box was pretty — but the sweater itself feels more ‘cute photo prop’ than everyday wear. Won’t repurchase unless material improves.

From stroller walks to story time on the rug — this sweater stays put and looks polished. The weight is *just right*: not too heavy, not too thin. Buttons are easy for me, safe for baby. And wow — the stitching detail near the hem? Chef’s kiss. Ordered Monday, delivered Thursday with a free sample of organic baby balm. Felt cared for, not just sold to.

Love the minimalist vibe — pairs perfectly with leggings or denim shorts in spring. My 1-year-old can wiggle freely, no tight armpits or scratchy seams. Fabric is thick enough for AC rooms but not sweaty. Only hiccup: tracking number updated late, though package still came in 5 days. Bonus points for the tiny care card printed on plantable paper — sprouted basil last week! 🌱

This sweater made our hospital discharge day *so* much calmer. Soft enough for newborn skin, breathable but warm, and that open front meant zero tugging during car seat straps. We chose the heather gray — goes with everything, and the subtle sheen catches light beautifully in photos. Arrived two days early (!) in eco-friendly packaging. Already gifted one to my sister — she cried opening it.

Cute and comfy — my toddler loves the drape and how it moves with her. Fabric feels premium, and the buttons are securely stitched. But the mustard color faded slightly after first wash (still wearable, just not as vibrant). Shipping was quick (4 days), and the box had a tiny sticker sheet — my kid adored it! Would buy again, maybe in a darker hue.

Wore it to Sunday brunch — got three compliments before our pancakes arrived! The ribbed knit gives just enough structure without stiffness, and the length is ideal: covers the diaper but doesn’t bunch. Washed it twice (cold, gentle cycle) and it looks brand new. Customer service replied in under an hour when I asked about matching pants — super human, not bot. So refreshing.

Adorable fit and buttery-soft texture — my 8-month-old didn’t fuss once while putting it on. The open-front style lets me layer it over bodysuits easily. Only reason it’s not 5 stars? Sizing runs *just* snug in the shoulders — worth sizing up if your little one has broader shoulders. Still, shipped lightning-fast and packaging was so thoughtful (recycled mailer + seed paper tag!).
Dani*********wski
Perfect for chilly mornings at daycare — lightweight but warm enough under a light jacket. Love how the sleeves hit just right at his wrists (no drowning in fabric!). Quality is legit: no pilling after two washes, and colors stayed true. Ordered on Tuesday, got it Friday — even included a reusable cloth bag. Feels like buying from a friend who *really* knows baby clothes.

So soft and cozy — my baby wore it for naptime and slept like a dream! The knit is stretchy but holds its shape, and the little button placket makes diaper changes a breeze. Got it in cream and immediately ordered the oatmeal too. Shipped fast from CA warehouse — arrived in 3 days with a sweet handwritten note. Pure joy in sweater form! 🧸
