I have searched high and low for a simple, knitted plain navy blue cardigan for my son but alas everything seems to be stripes, tracksuit tops, hoodies or emblazened with logos..!


I'm just looking for a basic plain navy button up cardigan (wool or cotton - I don't mind) to fit a tall toddler (age 2-3 in most shops) as an extra layer to go with several outfits before we leave for our holidays at the beginning of next week. (It needs to be plain because we've already gone a bit mad with stripy shorts and t-shirts).


If anyone has seen such a thing I would be eternally grateful to know where! Thank you.

KatDew - Thank you. I'd already checked at Next and have just double checked - they do have one but only starting from age 3 upwards which will be too big!


Ruth - No joy at Gap sadly, but I haven't tried H&M. Not sure I'll have chance to make it up to town before we leave though - I should have thought of that before...

Stunning eco79, if a little out of my budget...


The John Lewis 'school' cardigan would be perfect (like the Next one KatDew mentioned) but they start at age 3 which would drown him at the moment. I shall remember for next year (when I'll probably want yellow or green or red!).


Pickle - I wish I had known sooner. We do have knitters in the family, but unfortunately very slow ones who can't be relied upon to finish knitting something before it's too small!


I shall head off to Mothercare in Peckham over the weekend in search of the one with a hood I think. better than none at all. And thank you for the offer Ruth, incredibly kind but I wouldn't want to put on you.

Sainsburys have back to school ranges (sorry, back TU school!!) with navy cardis. They definitely start at 3 years, but worth a try as my DD is only 20 months and can easily wear cardigans/gilets etc that are 3 years up (because she loves her brother's old ones!!)


Easy to get to than Liberty too ;-)

You'd think it would be a simple thug to find wouldn't you! Sadly all the usual suspects only had baby sizes or 3 upwards or sold out because they were winter stock.


However, thanks to the amazing Ruth (and a last minute dash to Oxford Street for bits and pieces this morning), H&M on Regent Street saved the day. A lovely little navy cardigan in the sale for ?5. Happy mummy.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
