Caring for a baby is a big task! A baby can not communicate and confirm comfort. Therefore, the baby has to be continuously monitored. You have to keep them warm, dry, and happy, yet, you are unsure how they should be dressed for bed and what they should wear outside. This is especially true during winter. The nostalgic appeal of handmade apparels persists despite the widespread availability of industry produced ones. Here are ten reasons to select a handmade woollen sweater for your baby.

1. Softer than those bought ready-made

Sweaters that have been knitted by hand are significantly softer than those that have been knitted by machine. Although the market is currently stuffed with really soft material for children's apparel, knitted sweaters produced by hand continue to be highly comfortable for infants to wear.

2. Warmer

You can't beat the warmth of a hand-knit sweater compared to a mass-produced one. Today's ready-to-wear sweaters aren't toasty because the fabric is so cheap and of poor quality. The wool yarn used to make handmade sweaters is of the highest quality because it is purchased for that reason itself; to produce high-quality product.

3. Flexible

These are incredibly flexible and offer flexibility for the infant or toddler to move around and develop as they get bigger. The tiny ones' range of motion is constrained by their jackets being ready-made. Ready-made sweaters have very little flexibility. The flexibility of booties and caps that have been hand knitted, as opposed to those that have been machine knitted, is significantly greater.

4. Preferred by kids, then why not babies

Kids like sweaters that are hand-knit by their grandmother above those that were purchased ready-made. The children gravitate toward them because of their adaptability and their gentle nature. If kids love wearing them, then infants and toddlers are no different. 

5. Comfort 

Babies may be dressed in them more quickly because they are comfy. The fact that they are loose, as opposed to the premade ones, makes it simple to put them on and comfortable to switch between them.

6. Easy to maintain

They are simple to clean at home and do not need additional supplies or care to keep them in good condition. These sweaters are superior to any other in every way, and others cannot match their utility. They are also wonderful presents for the people you care about the most.

7. Creative designs

The elegance of these sweaters cannot be matched by anything else. Every one of these sweaters has a distinct pattern and colour scheme of its own. The grandmothers put a lot of thought and consideration into picking out the designs, so the finished products look lovely.

8. Resilient

A hand-knit sweater will outlast a store-bought one any day. They retain their original colour and lustre after being washed several times, in contrast to store-bought alternatives. Kids can wear the same hand-knit sweaters for two or three years, but ready-made sweaters only last one season. Some of the sweaters have been known to be passed on for generations.

9. Reasonably Priced 

Ready-made sweaters, like everything else these days, are priced beyond reach for most people. Sweaters that have been hand knitted are inexpensive and well worth the time and effort put into making them.

10. Personal Touch

The sweaters are mostly hand-knit by grandmothers who care deeply about the quality of their work. Witnessing grandmothers knitting baby sweaters and other clothes for their grandchildren while sitting in the gardens is unique in how they pour their heart and soul into it! It generates memories and deepens their connection
