Round Neck and Stand Up Neck Sweaters in Sirdar Supersoft Aran – Pattern 2314
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.
Sizes and Fit
The pattern covers six sizes based on age and chest measurement:
- 2–3 years: to fit 56 cm (22 in) chest, actual measurement 61 cm (24 in)
- 4–5 years: to fit 61 cm (24 in) chest, actual measurement 65 cm (25½ in)
- 6–7 years: to fit 66 cm (26 in) chest, actual measurement 70 cm (27½ in)
- 8–9 years: to fit 71 cm (28 in) chest, actual measurement 75 cm (29½ in)
- 10–11 years: to fit 76 cm (30 in) chest, actual measurement 82 cm (32¼ in)
- 12–13 years: to fit 81 cm (32 in) chest, actual measurement 86 cm (34 in)
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 Two Designs
Round Neck Sweater
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.
Stand Up Neck Sweater
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.
Yarn and Materials
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:
- Round Neck Sweater in shade 894: requires 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, or 5 balls depending on size
- Stand Up Neck Sweater in shade 896: requires 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, or 5 balls depending on size
The yarn amounts listed are based on average requirements when the stated tension and yarn are used. Knitters should always check tension before beginning.
Needles and Accessories
- 5mm (UK 6 / USA 8) knitting needles – used for the main body fabric
- 4mm (UK 8 / USA 6) knitting needles – used for ribbing and borders
- A cable needle for working the cable panel
- Stitch holders for managing live stitches during neck and shoulder shaping
- 3 buttons required for the Stand Up Neck Sweater version
