The designs are sized to fit chest and bust measurements ranging from 61/66 cm (24/26 in) through to 112/117 cm (44/46 in), with actual finished measurements spanning 70 cm to 123 cm. This generous size range makes the collection accessible for older children through to adults. Sleeve length is noted as adjustable, beginning at 33 cm (13 in) for the smallest size and extending to 49 cm (19¼ in) for the largest.

The Four Sweater Designs

Long Roll Neck Sweater

The Long Roll Neck Sweater is the longest of the four designs, with a full length ranging from 54 cm (21¼ in) to 79 cm (31¼ in) depending on size. Its defining feature is the roll neck, a classic collar that folds over naturally and adds warmth around the neck. This design is worked in Sirdar Harrap Tweed DK shade 111 and requires between 6 and 13 balls of 50g yarn across the size range.

Hooded Sweater

The Hooded Sweater offers a more contemporary, casual silhouette with a full length of 48 cm to 71 cm (19 in to 28 in). The hood adds a practical and stylish element, requiring careful knitting and shaping to achieve a well-fitted result — making it one of the more technically engaging designs in the collection. It is worked in Sirdar Harrap Tweed DK shade 108 and requires between 6 and 13 balls of 50g yarn.

Roll Neck Sweater

The Roll Neck Sweater shares the same length range as the Hooded Sweater — 48 cm to 71 cm (19 in to 28 in) — but features the classic roll neck finish rather than a hood. This makes it a timeless, elegant option well suited to cooler weather. It is knitted in Sirdar Harrap Tweed DK shade 110 and requires between 5 and 11 balls of 50g yarn, making it one of the more economical designs in the set.

Round Neck Sweater

The Round Neck Sweater is the most classic and versatile of the four designs, featuring a neat, traditional round neckline. It shares the same length range as the Roll Neck and Hooded designs. Worked in Sirdar Harrap Tweed DK shade 109, it also requires between 5 and 11 balls of 50g yarn, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a straightforward, wearable everyday sweater.

Materials and Yarn

All four designs are primarily intended to be knitted in Sirdar Harrap Tweed DK (F087), a DK weight yarn with a distinctive tweed character. The flecked, textured appearance of Harrap Tweed DK adds visual depth and a rustic, artisan quality to each finished garment without requiring complex stitch patterns to achieve an interesting look.

The pattern also notes compatibility with several other Sirdar DK weight yarns, including:

• Country Style DK
• Wash 'n' Wear Double Crepe DK
• Crofter DK
• Soukie DK
• Beachcomber DK
