The bright, colorful stripes on this roll neck sweater by Zutano seem to evoke a holiday feeling. It looks a bit retro, which gives it even more appeal. Made from a cotton/nylon/merino wool blend, the sweater includes the colors mandarin, brick, mallard, stone, cream, and maple. Although this sweater is marketed as a boys sweater, it would look just as appropriate on a girl.

The sweater is available in sizes 12, 18, and 24 months for $44.00 at Zutano.com.

Hartstrings always offers classic, high-quality looks for infants and children, and their winter lines this year are no exception.  I quite like this cute little winter themed cardigan.  Made of 100% cotton and machine washable, this sweet little sweater features a pastel color scheme of pink, cream, blue, and green.  I love the little mittens on the sides of the sweater.  This would look great either buttoned up or open over one of the many coordinating shirts available from this line (”Baby It’s Cold”).  Coordinating knit pants are also available.

The sweater comes in sizes from 3-6 up to 24 months.  You can purchase one for $54 at Hartstrings.com.

Your baby will be all decked out for the colder holiday weather in this Holiday Sweater & Hat by Nordstrom Baby. The sweater is actually a zip-front jacket appropriate as outerwear, with a red and black snowflake design pattern on the front. It has a rib knit collar, cuffs, and hem to keep baby warm and cozy. The hat is a darling puff-ball hat, one of the cutest types of hats babies can wear, in my opinion.

Both items are made of 100% cotton and hand washing is recommended. The set comes in sizes from Newborn to 9 months. You can view and purchase this cute holiday set at Nordstrom.com, where it sells for $40.

This sweater not only looks warm, but it has a cute husky dog on the front of it. The babyGap Husky Dog Sweater is a sweater your child will want to wear and one you’ll encourage him to wear. It features a ribbed mock collar, half-zip front, long sleeves with leather-like patches on the elbows, ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed hem.

The blend of 60% cotton, 30% nylon, and 10% wool is soft and cozy to keep your child warm all winter long. It comes in this beautiful bright ginger color, in sizes from 12 months to 5 years, for $36.50 at Gap.com. This would make a great Christmas gift.

I was disappointed to discover this weekend that our favorite out of town mall has ditched many of my favorite stores, including just about every store that sells maternity clothes!  I ended up checking out the selection at JCPenney, which otherwise wouldn’t have occurred to me.  I fell in love with this great sweater and ended up buying two of them.  Made by a.n.a, these sweaters are made from an incredibly soft blend of cotton and cashmere.  I’ve reached the point where I hate having things rubbing against my belly, so this soft fabric is perfect.

The cut of this Shirred Turtleneck sweater is very flattering–it has just the right amount of cling/shape.  You won’t look like a tent, but it has enough fabric to cover your belly well, and it isn’t irritatingly tight.  The deep colors are perfect for the season.  I bought the green and red, but now I’m wishing I had gotten then black and grey as well.  Best of all, these sweaters are currently on sale.  You can purchase one for $24.95 at jcpenney.com.

I saw an ad for maternity wear by Motherhood.com in a Parent Magazine and visited their site. I was really pleased with the wide variety of fun and attractive maternity clothes that were available. This pretty red Plus Holiday Sweater is an example of what is available at Motherhood.com. The snowflake design makes this a festive sweater for the holidays. The style is all about comfort for the expectant mom, not too thick (hot flashes) and not too tight (constricting) around your stomach.

This holiday sweater is priced at $39.98 and is available in sizes 1X, 2X, AND 3X. Order yours now or for the expectant mom in your life.
