Blankets and Shawl in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply – Pattern 1368 Overview

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Sirdar (pattern number 1368) presents four distinct baby and nursery projects worked in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply yarn: a Wave Pattern Blanket, a Dotty Blanket, a Block Pattern Blanket, and a Diagonal Pattern Shawl. Each design showcases a different crochet technique, making this collection a versatile resource for crafters who want to build their skills while creating beautiful, practical pieces for babies and young children.

The Four Designs at a Glance

All four projects are crocheted using a single 3.50mm (UK9 – US E/4) crochet hook and Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply (F074), a fine-weight yarn perfectly suited to delicate baby items. The lightweight 4 ply construction produces a soft, breathable fabric with excellent stitch definition, allowing each pattern's texture to stand out clearly.

Wave Pattern Blanket

What Is Being Made

The Wave Pattern Blanket is a classic ripple-style baby blanket measuring approximately 61 x 76 cm (24 x 30 inches). The undulating wave design creates a rhythmic, flowing texture that is both visually appealing and satisfying to crochet.

Techniques and Stitches

• Wave or ripple crochet – a technique involving regular increases and decreases to create a repeating undulating pattern across rows
• Stitches referenced in the pattern include chain (ch), double crochet (dc), treble (tr), and slip stitch (ss)
• The structured repeat format means this is an excellent project for crocheters who enjoy rhythmic, meditative stitch work

Materials

• Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply, shade 302
• 3 x 50g balls required
• 3.50mm (UK9 – US E/4) crochet hook

Dotty Blanket

What Is Being Made

The Dotty Blanket is a textured baby blanket measuring approximately 61 x 76 cm (24 x 30 inches). The "dotty" design introduces surface texture or bobble-like stitch clusters that create a spotted, playful appearance — ideal for a modern nursery aesthetic.

Techniques and Stitches

• Textured stitch patterning – using stitch clusters or raised stitches worked at intervals to produce a dotted surface effect
• Stitches include chain (ch), double crochet (dc), treble (tr), and slip stitch (ss)
• Working stitches into spaces (sp) is a key technique used to build the pattern's distinctive dotty appearance

Materials

• Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply, shade 321
• 4 x 50g balls required
• 3.50mm (UK9 – US E/4) crochet hook

Block Pattern Blanket

What Is Being Made

The Block Pattern Blanket is the largest of the three blankets, measuring approximately 68 x 84 cm (26¾ x 33 inches). Block crochet patterns use contrasting stitch arrangements — typically solid blocks of stitches alternating with open mesh spaces — to create a structured, geometric grid-like design.

Techniques and Stitches

• Block or tile crochet – a
