Hooded and Round Neck Sweaters in Sirdar Flurry – Pattern 4767

Pattern 4767 from Sirdar is an easy knit pattern offering two classic baby and children's sweater designs: a Round Neck Sweater and a Hooded Sweater. Both garments are sized from birth to 7 years, covering six size options to fit chest measurements of 16 to 26 inches (41–66 cm). This makes the pattern an exceptionally versatile choice for knitters looking to create handmade knitwear for babies, toddlers, and young children. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF, making it instantly accessible.

Both designs are worked in Sirdar Flurry, a chunky-weight yarn that produces a soft, cosy fabric with a fluffy, cloud-like texture that is especially appealing in children's garments. The pattern notes that the designs are also suitable for Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, offering knitters a little flexibility in yarn choice, though yarn amounts may vary.

Round Neck Sweater

The Round Neck Sweater is a timeless, clean-lined pullover designed for babies and young boys. It features a classic round neckline with a neat ribbed finish, set-in style sleeves, and a straightforward construction that makes it approachable for intermediate knitters. The sample shown in the pattern uses Sirdar Flurry shade 552, a soft and neutral-toned colourway well suited to everyday baby and toddler wear.

• Yarn: Sirdar Flurry shade 552 – 2 to 4 balls of 50g depending on size
• Sizes: 0–6 months through 6–7 years
• Actual chest measurement: 17¼ to 27½ inches (44–70 cm)
• Full length: 9½ to 19 inches (24–48 cm)
• Sleeve length: 6 to 13 inches (15–33 cm), described as adjustable

The sweater body is constructed in separate back and front pieces, with stitches picked up for the neckband finishing. The back and front are worked flat from the bottom up, beginning with a ribbed welt worked on smaller needles to create a neat, elasticated lower edge, before switching to the larger needles for the main body.

Hooded Sweater

The Hooded Sweater shares the same essential construction as the Round Neck version but replaces the classic crew neck with a cosy, knitted hood, making it a particularly practical and snug option for cooler weather. The hood adds both warmth and a charming, playful look that suits children's knitwear beautifully. The sample is shown in Sirdar Flurry shade 557, a different colourway from the round neck version, allowing knitters to distinguish between the two designs at a glance.

• Yarn: Sirdar Flurry shade 557 – 2 to 5 balls of 50g depending on size
• Sizes: 0–6 months through 6–7 years
• Actual chest measurement: 17¼ to 27½ inches (44–70 cm)
• Full length: 9½ to 19 inches (24–48 cm)
• Sleeve length: 6 to 13 inches (15–33 cm), adjustable

The hooded version requires slightly more yarn than the round neck version across all sizes, reflecting the additional fabric needed for the hood construction. The hood is knitted as an integral part of the neckline shaping, giving the finished garment a clean, polished appearance.

Techniques and Stitches Used

Both sweaters are described as easy knit designs, and the construction relies on a small, manageable set of knitting techniques. The primary fabric throughout both garments is stocking stitch (abbreviated in the pattern as st-st), which is formed by alternating knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side. Stocking stitch creates a smooth, flat fabric on the right side
