Baby & Kids Knitwear Collection
Knitwear for babies has one job above all: to be comfortable enough that it never bothers the child. Jakopina baby knitwear — rompers, cardigans, hats and trousers — is knitted from natural fibres in our family studio in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia.
We knit baby pieces from extra-fine merino wool, which does not itch and regulates temperature, and from GOTS-certified organic cotton for easy everyday care. The composition of each piece is listed on its product page.
FAQs
What should a baby wear under knitwear?
With extra-fine merino, often nothing extra is needed — it is soft enough to wear directly on the skin and works as a base layer itself. Over a cotton bodysuit, a Jakopina merino cardigan or romper adds warmth without bulk, which keeps the baby mobile.
Can a baby overheat in wool knitwear?
Merino wool lowers that risk rather than raising it: it regulates temperature and moves moisture away from the skin instead of trapping heat the way synthetics do. Check the back of the baby's neck — warm and dry is right; sweaty means remove a layer, whatever the fibre.
Is knitwear practical for everyday baby use?
Yes, if the fibre matches the use: Jakopina organic cotton pieces wash at 40 °C and tumble-dry, which suits daily wear, while merino pieces need washing far less often — airing usually refreshes them. Knitted fabric also stretches, so dressing a baby is easier than with woven clothes.
What baby knitwear works as a newborn gift?
A romper or a cardigan-and-hat pairing in merino wool or organic cotton is a gift that gets used daily from the first weeks. Sizes and measurements are on each product page, so you can choose with confidence even without asking the parents.
Where is Jakopina baby knitwear made?
All Jakopina baby knitwear is knitted in a family studio in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia, in small batches, with skills passed down since 1926. Natural fibres only — extra-fine merino wool and GOTS-certified organic cotton.
