You’ve been patiently waiting for Granny to get knitting for months, but she’s too busy cooing over the new arrival to whip up anything.

Save her the trouble and order a Chinti and Parker cashmere instead. The Mayfair-based firm has just launched a collection that includes cardigans, gilets and sweaters for new babes to toddlers in subtle shades like navy and pale grey.

Made by Dorset’s finest knitters, the cosy tops have contrasting patch pockets, can be personalized with your baby’s initials and come packaged in an organic cotton envelope made by a fair trade co-op in Southern India that benefits local schools.

So you can feel good about your purchase without being on pins and needles.

Available online at chintiandparker.com.
