The Mini Bay Sweater is a relaxed, modern knit for children, designed by Martin Storey and resized especially for ages 3–12 years. Featuring an oversized, boxy silhouette with openwork eyelet detailing across the body, this design is balanced beautifully by close‑fitting ribbed sleeves, creating a stylish contrast that’s comfortable and easy to wear.
Knitted in Rowan Handknit Cotton, Mini Bay makes a cool, breathable summer sweater that works perfectly for everyday adventures. This design originally appeared in MODE Collection Eight and has been thoughtfully reimagined for children as part of Rowan’s casual mini‑knits range.
