Blankets in Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti – Pattern 4690

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar presents four distinct baby and nursery blanket designs, all worked in Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti yarn. Each blanket measures approximately 91 x 91 cm (36 x 36 in), with the exception of the Zig Zag Pattern Blanket, which comes in at 95 x 92 cm (37½ x 36¼ in). The collection offers a range of styles and skill-building opportunities, from straightforward garter stitch to decorative floral embellishments and chevron patterning, making it an ideal intermediate-level project for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques and ready to explore simple stitch variations.

About the Yarn and Materials

Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti is the specified yarn for all four blanket designs in this pattern. It is used across multiple shades, referenced by Sirdar's own shade codes. The yarn is worked in 50g balls throughout. Knitters will require 1 pair of 5mm (UK6 / USA8) knitting needles for the Blanket with Flowers, the Stocking Stitch Blanket, and the Zig Zag Pattern Blanket. The Plain Garter Stitch Blanket may use a different needle specification as noted within the pattern.

The Four Blanket Designs

Plain Garter Stitch Blanket

The Plain Garter Stitch Blanket is a classic, beginner-friendly design worked entirely in garter stitch — the simplest of all knitted textures, created by knitting every row. The result is a reversible, slightly ridged fabric that lies flat naturally, making it particularly well suited to blankets and throws. This design uses a single colourway: Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti shade 303, requiring 7 x 50g balls. Its straightforward construction makes it an excellent confidence-builder, while the multicoloured nature of the Tutti Frutti yarn ensures visual interest without the need for complex stitch work.

• Stitch used: Garter stitch (knit every row)
• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti shade 303 – 7 x 50g balls
• Finished size: Approximately 91 x 91 cm (36 x 36 in)

Blanket with Flowers

The Blanket with Flowers introduces decorative detail to the collection. The main body of the blanket is knitted in a main shade — Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti shade 302 — using 7 x 50g balls, while a contrast shade 305, requiring just 1 x 50g ball, is used to create the floral embellishments. These flowers are likely worked separately and then applied to the finished blanket, a technique common in knitted baby accessories that adds charm and a handcrafted quality. This design is a lovely choice for knitters who enjoy adding finishing touches and decorative elements to their projects.

• Techniques used: Knitting, applied or separately worked floral embellishments
• Needles: 5mm (UK6 / USA8)
• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti shade 302 (main) – 7 x 50g balls; shade 305 (contrast) – 1 x 50g ball
• Finished size: Approximately 91 x 91 cm (36 x 36 in)

Stocking Stitch Blanket

The Stocking Stitch Blanket is worked in stocking stitch — the classic knit-one-row, purl-one-row construction that produces a smooth, flat fabric on the right side. A contrast shade is incorporated alongside the main colour, likely used for a border, edging, or stripe detail that frames the blanket neatly. The main shade is Sirdar Snuggly Tutti Frutti shade 300,
