Product Description
Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly DK & Snuggly DK Pattern 4555 – Sweaters & Blanket for Birth to 7 Years
This Sirdar pattern 4555 is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern offering three charming baby and children's projects: a Round Neck Sweater, a V Neck Sweater, and a Blanket. All three designs are worked in a combination of Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly DK and Sirdar Snuggly DK yarns, creating a delightful textural contrast between smooth and bubbly fabric. The pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable working with multiple yarn types and basic shaping techniques, making it an ideal choice for anyone crafting handmade gifts for babies and young children.
About the Yarns
Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly DK (shade reference F094) is a novelty DK-weight yarn featuring a distinctive bobble or bubble texture that adds visual interest and softness to the fabric. Sirdar Snuggly DK (shade reference F075) is a classic smooth double knitting yarn, used here for contrast stripes and edgings. Both yarns are part of Sirdar's baby-focused Snuggly range, designed with softness and child safety in mind. The yarns are sold in 50g balls.
The pattern uses a three-colour approach, labelling the yarns as Shade A, Shade B (both in Snuggly DK), and Shade C (in Snuggly Bubbly DK). Specific shade numbers are given for each project:
- Round Neck Sweater: Shade A – Snuggly DK shade 449, Shade B – Snuggly DK shade 344, Shade C – Snuggly Bubbly DK shade 101
- V Neck Sweater: Shade A – Snuggly DK shade 321, Shade B – Snuggly DK shade 449, Shade C – Snuggly Bubbly DK shade 105
- Blanket: Shade A – Snuggly DK shade 449, Shade B – Snuggly DK shade 321, Shade C – Snuggly Bubbly DK shade 103
Needles and Tension
The pattern requires two pairs of knitting needles: 4mm (UK8 / USA6) needles for the main fabric and 3¼mm (UK10 / USA3) needles for the ribbed edgings and welts. Stitch holders are also needed for the sweater neckline shaping.
The stated tension is 22 stitches and 31 rows to 10cm (4 inches) measured over stocking stitch on 4mm needles using Snuggly Bubbly DK. Achieving the correct tension is essential to ensure the finished garments match the stated measurements, and the pattern advises adjusting needle size up or down as needed.
Project 1 – Round Neck Sweater
The Round Neck Sweater is a classic pullover design with a neat round neckline, worked in a combination of smooth DK stripes and the bubbly textured main body fabric. It is sized to fit children from birth through to 7 years, covering chest measurements from 41cm (16in) to 66cm (26in), with actual garment measurements ranging from 45cm to 70cm.
Full lengths range from 24cm (9½in) for newborns up to 44cm (17¼in) for the 6–7 year size. Sleeve lengths are adjustable, ranging from 15cm (6in) to 33cm (13in) depending on size, giving knitters flexibility to customise the fit.
- Techniques used: Stocking stitch for the main body, ribbing for welts and cuffs, stripe colour work, neckline shaping, armhole shaping, and sleeve set-in construction
- Stitches used: Knit (k),
