Cameron Children's Cabled Jumper & Hoody by Sarah Hatton – Pattern Summary

The Cameron Children's Cabled Jumper & Hoody is a beautifully designed knitting pattern by Sarah Hatton, published by West Yorkshire Spinners. This intermediate-level pattern offers two distinct children's knitwear designs in one downloadable PDF: a classic Roll Neck Jumper and a practical Hoody. Both garments are worked in a rich aran weight yarn and feature impressive cable detailing that gives them a timeless, heritage-inspired look. The pattern is sized to fit children aged 3–4 up to 12+ years, covering chest measurements from 56 cm (22 in) to 81 cm (32 in), making it a versatile choice for knitters who want a pattern that can grow with a child.

Design 1: The Roll Neck Jumper

The Roll Neck Jumper is a cosy, structured pullover featuring a distinctive rolled neckline that adds warmth and a stylish finish. It is knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran in the colourway Moarfield (1147), a rich, earthy shade that suits the traditional cable aesthetic perfectly. The quantity of yarn required ranges from 3 to 6 x 100g balls depending on the size being worked.

Techniques and Construction

• Cable knitting is central to this design, creating textured panels that run through the fabric and give the jumper its characteristic depth and visual interest.
• The pattern uses a roll neck construction, achieved by working additional rows of stocking stitch at the neckline that naturally curl outward.
• Two stitch holders are required, used to hold live stitches at the neck while other sections are completed.
• Standard shaping techniques are used for the armholes, sleeves, and neckline.

Stitches Used

• Stocking stitch – used for the main body fabric and forms the basis of the tension swatch at 18 sts and 24 rows to 10 cm.
• Cable pattern – worked over specific stitch panels; tension over cable pattern is 24 sts and 24 rows to 10 cm.
• C4B (Cable 4 Back) – slip 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back of the work, knit 2, then knit 2 from the cable needle, creating a right-leaning cable twist.
• C4F (Cable 4 Front) – slip 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the front of the work, knit 2, then knit 2 from the cable needle, creating a left-leaning cable twist.

Materials

• Yarn: West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran in Moarfield (1147)
• Needles: One pair 4.5mm (UK7/US7) and one pair 5mm (UK6/US8) knitting needles
• Accessories: Cable needle, two stitch holders

Design 2: The Hoody

The Hoody is the second garment included in this pattern, offering a more contemporary and casual silhouette while retaining the same beautiful cable detailing. It is worked in West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran in the colourway Virkie (1163), a complementary shade that suits the relaxed, everyday style of a hooded sweater. Yarn requirements range from 4 to 6 x 100g balls depending on size.

Techniques and Construction

• Cable knitting features prominently throughout the Hoody, using the same C4B and C4F abbreviations to create structured, rope-like cable panels.
• The hood construction is a key
