There's something timeless about animal motifs on children's knitwear. Whether it's a flock of sheep grazing across a little boy's chest or a whimsical Bo Peep scene on a girl's jumper, these pieces spark joy — and last far beyond a single season. At MIKA & MILO, our animal knits are crafted from a 95% organic cotton and 5% cashmere blend that is machine-washable, making them as practical as they are beautiful.
For Boys: Flock of Sheep Jumper
Our beloved Flock of Sheep Jumper is a perennial favourite. A charming parade of sheep knitted in relief across the body, it's the kind of piece that gets passed down and remembered. Available in two colourways:
- Flock of Sheep Jumper | Avocado — a soft, earthy green that works beautifully with neutrals and navy.
- Flock of Sheep Jumper | Iceland Blue — a cool, serene blue inspired by Nordic landscapes.
Both are knitted in our signature 95% organic cotton and 5% cashmere blend — warm enough for autumn and winter, soft enough for sensitive skin, and machine-washable for real family life.
For Girls: Little Bo Peep Jumpers & Skirts
Our Little Bo Peep collection brings a storybook world to life in the softest knitwear. The iconic Bo Peep silhouette is knitted in delicate detail, making each piece feel like a little heirloom. Choose from three dreamy colourways:

Why Animal Knits Make the Best Children's Gifts
Animal knitwear has an enduring appeal that transcends trends. Unlike novelty prints that date quickly, a beautifully crafted knit motif feels considered and special — the kind of gift that grandparents love to give and parents love to receive. Our pieces are designed to be worn season after season, growing with your child in spirit even as they outgrow the size.
Every MIKA & MILO knit is made from our 95% organic cotton and 5% cashmere blend — certified organic, gentle on sensitive skin, and machine-washable at 30°C. No dry-cleaning, no fuss.
