Sizing and Fit

The hat is sized to fit an average baby's or child's head for each corresponding age group. The generous positive ease built into the cardigans ensures comfortable wear and room for layering, which is especially practical for young children.

Long-Sleeved Cardigan

The long-sleeved cardigan is a classic, cosy design ideal for cooler weather and year-round baby dressing. Full lengths range from 20 cm (8 in) for the smallest size up to 39 cm (15½ in) for the largest, while long sleeve lengths range from 15 cm (6 in) to 33 cm (13 in) across the size range. This makes the garment a practical and wearable choice at every stage of early childhood.

• Quantity: 2 to 5 x 50g balls depending on size

Short-Sleeved Cardigan

The short-sleeved version of the cardigan is a lighter option, perfect for warmer months or as a layering piece over summer clothing. The abbreviated short sleeve length of just 2 cm (¾ in) across all sizes gives the garment a neat, cap-sleeve appearance. This design uses less yarn than the long-sleeved version, making it a quicker project to complete.

Matching Hat

The coordinating hat completes the set and is designed to pair beautifully with either cardigan. Worked in the same Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply in shade 405, just 1 x 50g ball is sufficient for all sizes, making it an economical and quick project. The hat is sized to fit an average baby or child's head for each indicated age group.
