About the Three Designs

The Baby Coat

The coat is knitted in three sizes to fit chest measurements of 41 cm (16 in), 46 cm (18 in), and 51 cm (20 in), corresponding to ages 0–6 months, 6–12 months, and 1–2 years. The actual garment measurements are slightly larger to allow for ease of movement, ranging from 45 cm to 55 cm in actual chest measurement. The full length ranges from 24 cm to 32 cm depending on size, and the sleeve length — which is adjustable — runs from 15 cm to 20 cm, measured just below the armholes.

The adjustable sleeve length is a particularly thoughtful feature, allowing knitters to customise the fit as the baby grows or to accommodate individual preferences. The coat is a classic, structured baby garment designed to be both warm and stylish, making it suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.

• Sizes: 0–6 months, 6–12 months, 1–2 years
• Yarn required: 2–3 x 50g balls of Sirdar Snuggly Doodle DK (shade 207)
• Actual chest measurement: 45–55 cm (17¾–21¾ in)

The Baby Bonnet

The matching bonnet is designed to fit an average baby's or child's head for each of the three ages indicated, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. Like the coat, it is worked in Sirdar Snuggly Doodle DK shade 207, creating a perfectly coordinated look when worn together. The bonnet requires just 1 x 50g ball of yarn across all three sizes, making it an economical addition to the set and a great standalone project for knitters looking for a quick make.

• Sizes: Fits average head size for 0–6 months, 6–12 months, and 1–2 years
• Yarn required: 1 x 50g ball of Sirdar Snuggly Doodle DK (shade 207)

The Baby Blanket

The blanket is a generous, substantial piece measuring approximately 94 x 93 cm (37 x 36¾ in) — large enough to use as a pram blanket, cot blanket, or play mat covering. This near-square format makes it a versatile and long-lasting item that can be used well beyond the baby years. The blanket requires 9 x 50g balls of Sirdar Snuggly Doodle DK (shade 207), reflecting its sizeable dimensions.

As a knitted blanket project, this piece gives intermediate knitters the opportunity to practise consistent tension and stitch pattern repetition over a larger surface area, resulting in a beautifully even fabric. The DK weight yarn ensures the finished blanket has a soft, comfortable drape without being overly heavy.

• Finished size: Approximately 94 x 93 cm (37 x 36¾ in)
• Yarn required: 9 x 50g balls of Sirdar Snuggly Doodle DK (shade 207)
