Hats in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK – Pattern 1482

This Sirdar knitting pattern 1482 is a collection of four charming baby and children's hats, all worked in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK yarn. Designed to fit sizes from birth through to 7 years, the pattern covers six size options: 0–6 months, 6–12 months, 1–2 years, 2–3 years, 4–5 years, and 6–7 years, making it a wonderfully versatile addition to any knitter's library. Each hat design has its own distinct character, ranging from a classic cabled finish to playful knotted and pointed styles, offering something to suit every little one.

The Four Hat Designs

Diamond Cable T-Bag Hat

The Diamond Cable T-Bag Hat is worked in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK shade 176. As the name suggests, this design features a diamond cable panel, which gives the hat a textured, structured appearance that is both traditional and eye-catching. The T-bag silhouette refers to the gathered or tied top finish, adding a whimsical touch to an otherwise classic style. Cable knitting is a beloved technique in which stitches are crossed over one another using a cable needle, creating the appearance of twisted ropes or, in this case, diamond shapes across the fabric. This hat requires 1 x 50g ball for sizes 0–6 and 6–12 months, and 2 x 50g balls for sizes 1–2 years through to 6–7 years.

Knotted T-Bag Hat

The Knotted T-Bag Hat is knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK shade 173. This design shares the T-bag shape — a style where the top of the hat is gathered and tied into a knot — giving it a fun, casual look that is particularly popular for babies and toddlers. The knotted finish is a practical and adorable detail that also helps keep the hat snug on little heads. This hat requires 1 x 50g ball for sizes 0–6 months and 6–12 months, and 2 x 50g balls for sizes 1–2 years and above.

Pointed Pull On Hat

The Pointed Pull On Hat is worked in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK shade 174. This style features a pointed crown, giving it a pixie or elf-like appearance that is enduringly popular for baby knitwear. Pull-on hats are simple, fuss-free designs that slip easily over the head — ideal for wriggly babies and young children. The pointed shaping is typically achieved through a series of decreases worked towards the top of the hat. This design requires 1 x 50g ball for the smallest size (0–6 months) and 2 x 50g balls for all remaining sizes from 6–12 months upwards.

Knotted Pull On Hat

The Knotted Pull On Hat is knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter DK shade 175. Combining the ease of a pull-on style with the charming knotted top detail, this hat is both practical and stylish. It is notably the most yarn-efficient design in the collection, requiring just 1 x 50g ball across all six sizes, from birth through to 6–7 years.
