Baby blue cardigan with NO hood - anywhere?

I'd just like a plain pale blue (or navy) cotton cardigan for ds2 without a hood. JoJo have a nice one with a hood but hoods are annoying when they've got coats on and he'll be wearing one in winter. JoJO have a navy one without a hood but it's double breasted which I don't like either. Size 9-12 I suppose as he's 8 months now or even 12-18 if not too big to start with. I don't mind paying for a decent one as he'll wear it for ages - he's got one at present that's 3-6 (from ds1) and he's worn that for 6 months. So up to £20 if I have to, it's the only new thing he'll get this year Is it so impossible to find cardies without hoods so children can wear them inside and comfortably under a coat?

If you have an old-fashioned haberdashery shop or department store with good habby dept, they may be able to recommend a good knitter who would make up your perfect cardi. There's a book of trendy knits for babies by Debbie someone, have a look on Amazon (and then Ebay.)
But do pick your wool carefully - pure wool is a bugger to wash, get a decent percentage of polyester or acrylic.
And hoodies are ok if the winter coat doesn't have a hood itself.

I know what you mean - it is daft - in the summer you dont want a hood and in the winter yu may have a coat with a hood and two hoods look daft! I got a cotton jumper with a zip part of the way down IYKWIM from Primark for £3 - it is lovely and such a bargain, so maybe that is an alternative?

well, thanks for all the suggestions! Azteckids v.nice (hadn't come across them before) but more expensive than I was prepared to pay and not quite what i was after. White Company is perfect if they do it in blue and hopefully would wash well as it's quality stuff!
I did really want a cardie, find them incredibly useful with a baby. But will get myself to primark soon anyway as I got some bargain trousers last time (£2 for 2).
