Baby Blankets in Sirdar Snuggly Tiny Tots DK – Pattern 1334

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar presents four beautifully distinct baby blanket designs, all worked in the soft and baby-friendly Sirdar Snuggly Tiny Tots DK yarn. Each blanket is sized to wrap and comfort a newborn or young baby, and the collection offers a wonderful range of techniques — from bold geometric stripes to textured stitch patterns — making it an ideal choice for knitters of varying experience levels who want to create a heartfelt handmade gift.

The Four Blanket Designs

Zig Zag Blanket

The Zig Zag Blanket measures approximately 64 x 72 cm (25¼ x 28¼ in) and is one of the most visually striking designs in the collection. It uses a classic chevron or zig zag stitch construction, a technique that involves carefully placed increases and decreases worked across the row to create a repeating V-shaped wave pattern. This method of shaping within the fabric — rather than at the edges — produces the characteristic peaks and valleys that give the blanket its bold, graphic look.

• Technique: Zig zag / chevron stitch construction using paired increases and decreases
• Colours: Three shades of Sirdar Snuggly Tiny Tots DK — Colour A shade 914 (3 x 50g balls), Colour B shade 915 (3 x 50g balls), Colour C shade 913 (2 x 50g balls)

Slip Stitch Rib Blanket

The Slip Stitch Rib Blanket measures approximately 57 x 73 cm (22½ x 28¾ in) and is worked entirely in a single shade, allowing the texture of the stitch pattern to take centre stage. Slip stitch ribbing is a wonderfully tactile technique: rather than working every stitch on every row, selected stitches are slipped from one needle to the other without being knitted, creating elongated loops that add depth and a subtle woven appearance to the fabric. The resulting texture is denser and more structured than standard ribbing, giving the blanket excellent stretch recovery and a cosy, cushioned hand feel — perfect for snuggling a baby.

• Technique: Slip stitch rib — a textured stitch pattern using slipped stitches to create elongated, ribbed columns
• Colour: Shade 915 — 6 x 50g balls of Sirdar Snuggly Tiny Tots DK

Striped Blanket

The Striped Blanket measures approximately 61 x 77 cm (24 x 30¼ in), making it the largest of the four designs and a generous size for a pram or cot. It is worked in three colours in a classic horizontal stripe arrangement — a technique that is ideal for knitters looking to practise colour management, as it involves carrying or joining yarns at the side edges of the work. Stripes are one of the most timeless and versatile knitting techniques, and the combination of three coordinating shades from the Snuggly Tiny Tots DK palette gives this blanket a fresh, contemporary feel.

• Technique: Horizontal stripe knitting with multiple yarn colours
• Colours: Colour A shade 915 (3 x 50g balls), Colour B shade 914 (3 x 50g balls), Colour C shade 913 (2 x 50g balls)

Patchwork Blanket

The Patchwork Blanket measures approximately 58 x 68 cm (22¾ x 26¾ in) and takes its inspiration from traditional patchwork quilts, recreating the look of sewn fabric squares through clever knitting techniques. This design is worked in two colours and uses a combination of stitch patterns to create the impression of individual blocks or patches within a single knitted fabric. The contrast shade is used to define the patchwork grid, while the main shade fills the body of each section, producing a charming, heirloom-quality result.
