Blankets in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK and Snowflake DK - 4673- Downloadable PDF

Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK & Snowflake DK Blankets – Pattern 4673

Pattern 4673 from Sirdar is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern featuring four distinct baby blanket designs, each approximately 92–94 cm square (around 36–37 inches). All four blankets are worked in DK weight yarn at an intermediate skill level, making them an ideal project for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques and ready to explore textured stitches and simple cable work. Each blanket is a generous, wrap-worthy size — perfect as a pram blanket, cot blanket, or a treasured handmade gift for a new baby.

The Four Blanket Designs

Cable Edged Blanket

The Cable Edged Blanket measures approximately 92 x 92 cm (36¼ x 36¼ in) and is one of the most visually striking designs in the collection. It features a cable stitch border that frames the main body of the blanket, adding a classic, structured look that is both timeless and tactile. Cable knitting involves crossing groups of stitches over one another using a cable needle, creating a twisted rope-like effect that stands out beautifully in relief against a smoother background.

• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK in Shade 194 — 9 x 50g balls
• Techniques: Cable knitting, edging construction
• Stitches: Cable stitch, likely stocking stitch or reverse stocking stitch for the main body

Wave Edged Blanket

The Wave Edged Blanket measures approximately 94 x 92 cm (37 x 36¼ in), making it the slightly largest of the four designs. It introduces a two-colour scheme, combining a main shade with a contrast yarn in Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake DK, which adds a soft, fluffy texture to the decorative wave edging. The wave border gives this blanket a gentle, flowing finish that is particularly charming for a baby gift. The use of Snowflake DK for the contrast introduces a subtle sparkle or fluffiness depending on the colourway chosen.

• Main Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK in Shade 195 — 7 x 50g balls
• Contrast Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake DK in Shade 663 — 2 x 25g balls
• Techniques: Two-colour knitting, decorative wave edging
• Stitches: Wave or picot-style edging stitches, stocking stitch or similar for the body

Twisted Rib Blanket

The Twisted Rib Blanket measures approximately 92 x 92 cm (36¼ x 36¼ in) and is another two-colour design, this time using a much more generous amount of the contrast Snuggly Snowflake DK, suggesting the contrast yarn plays a significant role throughout the blanket rather than just at the edging. Twisted rib is a variation of standard ribbing in which stitches are worked through the back loop, creating a denser, more defined rib that has a slight twist or rope-like appearance. This technique produces a blanket with excellent stretch and recovery, as well as a beautifully textured surface that is soft against a baby's skin.

• Main Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK in Shade 193 — 6 x 50g balls
• Contrast Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake DK in Shade 631 — 6 x 25g balls
• Techniques: Twisted rib, two-colour stripe or section knitting
• Stitches: Twisted knit and purl stitches worked through the back loop
