This Sirdar knitting pattern (pattern number 2314) provides instructions for two classic children's sweater designs: a Round Neck Sweater and a Stand Up Neck Sweater. Both garments are worked in Sirdar Supersoft Aran yarn and are sized to fit children aged 2 to 13 years, making this a versatile pattern that can grow with a child's wardrobe. The designs combine a cosy, textured aesthetic with practical, wearable shaping, making them ideal for everyday wear and cooler seasons.
The pattern covers six sizes based on age and chest measurement:
Full lengths range from 38 cm to 58 cm (15 in to 22¾ in), and sleeve lengths range from 24 cm to 42 cm (9½ in to 16½ in), noted as adjustable to suit individual needs.
The Round Neck Sweater features a classic, comfortable crew neckline that is suitable for layering or wearing alone. It is a timeless children's knit with a neat, traditional finish. The round neck shaping is worked using standard decrease techniques to create a smooth, fitted neckline edge.
The Stand Up Neck Sweater features a stand-up collar (also known as a funnel or mock turtleneck), which adds extra warmth around the neck — ideal for colder weather. This version also incorporates 3 buttons as a design detail, likely at the collar or shoulder opening to allow easy dressing for younger children. The stand-up neck adds a slightly more structured, contemporary look compared to the round neck version.
Both sweaters are knitted in Sirdar Supersoft Aran (product code F022), a yarn celebrated for its exceptionally soft handle, making it particularly well-suited to children's garments worn next to the skin. The yarn is used in 100g balls:
The yarn amounts listed are based on average requirements when the stated tension and yarn are used. Knitters should always check tension before beginning.
