Designs Included in Pattern 4492

Round Neck Cardigan

The Round Neck Cardigan is a classic, timeless baby and children's garment featuring a neat, comfortable round neckline. It is available in six sizes to fit chest measurements from 41 cm (16 in) up to 66 cm (26 in), covering ages 0–6 months through to 6–7 years. The actual garment measurements range from 45 cm to 70 cm in circumference, providing a comfortable, slightly eased fit across all sizes.

Full length ranges from 24 cm (9½ in) for the smallest size up to 42 cm (16½ in) for the largest, with an adjustable sleeve length starting at 15 cm (6 in) and extending to 33 cm (13 in). The adjustable sleeve feature makes this pattern particularly practical, allowing knitters to tailor the fit as a child grows.

Collared Cardigan

The Collared Cardigan offers a slightly more detailed design, distinguished by the addition of a collar that gives the garment a smart, traditional finish. Like the Round Neck Cardigan, it is sized from 0–6 months to 6–7 years, with identical chest, actual, and length measurements, making it easy to compare and choose between the two styles. The collar adds a charming decorative element that makes this version particularly suited to special occasions as well as everyday wear.

Blanket

The pattern also includes a Blanket measuring 61 x 76 cm (24 x 30 in), making it a generous pram, cot, or lap blanket ideal for newborns and young babies. Knitted blankets in DK weight are a popular and practical project, offering a soft, comforting layer with good stitch definition. This blanket coordinates beautifully with the Collared Cardigan, as both use Sirdar Snuggly DK shade 452, making it simple to create a matching gift set.
