Baby Blankets in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply – Pattern 4475 (Downloadable PDF)

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Sirdar presents three beautifully designed baby blankets, all worked in the soft and delicate Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply yarn. The collection includes a Rectangular Blanket, a Circular Blanket, and a Striped Circular Blanket, offering a range of styles and skill-building opportunities for crochet makers looking to create a treasured handmade gift for a newborn or young baby.

About the Designs

Rectangular Blanket

The Rectangular Blanket measures approximately 61 x 76 cm (24 x 30 inches), making it a practical and generously sized piece ideal for a pram, cot, or play mat. This design is worked in two shades of Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply, creating a classic two-tone effect that is both visually appealing and simple to personalise with different colour combinations.

• Finished Size: 61 x 76 cm (approximately 24 x 30 inches)
• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply in Shade 350 (main shade) – 3 x 50g balls; Shade 444 (contrast shade) – 2 x 50g balls
• Hook Size: 4.50mm (UK 7 / US G/6)

The use of a contrast shade introduces stripe or colour-block detailing, and the larger hook size relative to the yarn weight creates a relaxed, drapey fabric that is soft against delicate baby skin. Working a rectangular blanket in crochet is an excellent project for those building confidence with flat, even tension across rows.

Circular Blanket

The Circular Blanket is a stunning single-colour design with an approximate diameter of 117 cm (46 inches), making it a substantial and cosy wrap or play blanket. Worked in the round from a central starting point, this blanket grows outward in concentric rounds, a technique that produces a beautifully symmetrical finished piece.

• Finished Size: Approximately 117 cm (46 inches) diameter
• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply in Shade 443 – 8 x 50g balls
• Hook Sizes: 3.50mm (UK 9 / US E/4) and 3.00mm (UK 10 / US D/3)

The use of two different hook sizes within the same project is a notable design feature, likely used to create textural variation or to manage tension as the rounds increase in circumference. Crocheting in the round requires a confident understanding of increases and joining rounds, making this a rewarding intermediate-level project.

Striped Circular Blanket

The Striped Circular Blanket shares the same generous dimensions as the Circular Blanket — approximately 117 cm (46 inches) in diameter — but introduces a vibrant multi-colour striped design using four distinct shades of Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply. The stripes radiate outward from the centre, creating a bold and eye-catching effect that is perfect for a modern nursery aesthetic.

• Finished Size: Approximately 117 cm (46 inches) diameter
• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply in four shades:
  • Shade A – 350: 3 x 50g balls
  • Shade B – 443: 2 x 50g balls
  • Shade C – 444: 2 x 50g balls
  • Shade D – 448: 2 x 50g balls
• Hook Sizes: 3.50mm (UK 9 / US E/4) and 3.00mm (UK 10 / US D/3)
