  • Learn More About Gender-neutral Kids' Sweaters

    When selecting kids' sweaters with maximum wearability in mind, consider factors like color, fit, and design.


    • Color: Look for sweaters that come in neutral colors like black, gray, or white, or opt for muted and earth tones. Neutral colors can be easily mixed and matched with various outfits so your child can use them for many occasions.
    • Versatility: Opt for versatile fits that are relaxed or slightly oversized to ensure both comfort and room for growth in the future. If you have more than one child, these sweaters are excellent items to pass down between siblings, ensuring longevity and long-term enjoyment from a handmade sweater.
    • Design: Choose patterns and designs for all genders, like nature imagery or geometric patterns. Some are themed for special occasions, like hand-knit kids’ Christmas sweaters, while other sweaters feature buttons, zippers, or hoods to help regulate body temperature and switch up their style.

    Sweaters for kids cover the entire spectrum of adult sweaters, simply on a smaller scale. Popular kids’ sweater styles include cardigans, pullovers, tunics, and turtlenecks. You can wear some open or closed with buttons and zippers, while others may feature hoods or hand pockets. Each type has its own unique look and style for many occasions, whether you’re looking for a warm, fuzzy pullover for the winter or a casual cardigan for everyday outings. To help you choose what type may be best:


    • Kids’ cardigans: These open at the front, typically fasten with buttons or a zipper and are usually worn as an outer layer over other clothing. Many cardigans have a tailored look to them.
    • Kids’ pullovers: By pulling it over the head, pullovers are without any front openings or buttons, giving room for designs, logos, and patterns across the front. They can have different sleeve lengths, such as long sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, or short sleeves. They may also have hoods or front pockets, making them a hoodie or sweatshirt.
    • Kids’ tunics: Ideal for any body shape, this type of sweater is usually longer in length, typically reaching below the hips or even down to the mid-thigh. They are known for their relaxed and comfortable fit, often featuring a slightly oversized or flowy silhouette.
    • Kids’ turtlenecks: The collar on these sweaters extend upward and fits snugly against the chin and neck, providing warmth and protection from the cold.

    Gender-neutral kids’ clothes are often made from cotton, blends, wool, or polyester, usually using soft materials depending on the kid’s age. On Etsy, you’ll find many hand-sewn and knit sweaters of all lightweight, soft, and warm materials featuring gender-neutral colors and designs.
