This girls' ribbed sweater is a pullover, not a cardigan. The five colorful buttons are arranged along a short placket that ends at the upper chest, while the rest of the sweater remains closed. Its mock neck, vertical ribbed texture, and folded cuffs give it a distinctive knitwear look. If you're shopping for a sweater that opens completely at the front, our girls' button-front cable-knit cardigan offers that option.

Yes. A mock neck gives you the raised-neck look without the tall, fold-over collar of a traditional turtleneck. This girls' sweater features a ribbed mock neck and a colorful five-button detail at the upper chest. The collar adds a neat finish around the neckline, while the vertical ribbing gives the sweater a classic knitted appearance. It's a lovely choice for girls who like a slightly elevated neckline and colorful details rather than a plain crewneck sweater.

The ribbed pattern doesn't automatically mean this sweater is designed to fit tightly. This girls' mock-neck sweater has a straight pullover silhouette with vertical ribbing for texture. Start with your daughter's usual size and compare the chest width, sleeve length, and overall length with a sweater she already wears comfortably. If she prefers a looser look or plans to wear a shirt underneath, allow room for that when choosing her size. The goal is a neat fit that still lets her move her arms comfortably.

Yes, this girls' ribbed sweater can be machine washed or hand washed. For machine washing, use cold water, a gentle cycle, and mild detergent, and wash with similar colors. Avoid bleach. After washing, straighten the folded cuffs and gently reshape the neckline before hanging the sweater to dry or tumble drying on low heat. Use a cool iron if needed. These care instructions make it easy to maintain the sweater's ribbed texture and colorful button details.
