This official Sirdar pattern (number 1772) offers a delightful collection of baby and children's knitwear suitable for ages birth to 7 years, covering chest sizes from 41 cm (16 in) up to 66 cm (26 in).

Labelled as an Easy Knit, this pattern is well suited to confident beginners and intermediate knitters alike, making it an excellent choice for handmade baby gifts or children's wardrobe staples.
Plain Cardigan
What Is Being Made
The Plain Cardigan is a classic, cosy children's cardigan worked in a single shade of Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky. It features a straightforward silhouette with set-in or shaped sleeves, a neat button band, and a simple neckline. Full length measurements range from approximately 23 cm (9 in) for newborns up to 46 cm (18 in) for 6–7 year olds, with adjustable sleeve lengths from 15 cm to 33 cm depending on age.
Techniques Used
- Flat knitting worked in separate pieces (back, fronts, sleeves) and seamed together
- Shaping through decreasing and increasing at armhole and sleeve head
- Button band and press-fastener finishing for the front opening
- Tension swatch checking to ensure accurate sizing across six size options
Stitches Used
- Stocking stitch as the main fabric stitch throughout
- Rib or border stitches for welts, cuffs, and button bands (as indicated by the colour-coded stitch pattern instructions)
- Standard decrease stitches including knit two together (k2tog) and working through the back of the loop (tbl) for neat shaping
Materials
- Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky shade 632 – between 2 and 7 balls of 25g depending on size
- Needles: 5½mm (UK5 / USA9) knitting needles
- Notions: 1 press-fastener and 1 button
Two-Colour Cardigan
What Is Being Made
The Two-Colour Cardigan follows the same classic children's cardigan construction as the Plain version but introduces a contrast colour detail for added visual interest. This makes it a slightly more engaging knit and produces a charming, coordinated look. The same size range applies — birth to 7 years — with identical finished measurements to the Plain Cardigan.
Techniques Used
- Two-colour knitting using a main shade and a contrast shade, worked in stocking stitch following the colour-coded instructions in the pattern
- Flat knitting in separate pieces with seaming
- Armhole and sleeve shaping through decreasing and increasing
- Press-fastener finishing at the front opening
Stitches Used
- Stocking stitch as the primary fabric, worked in the specified colour sequence
- Rib or border stitches for edges and cuffs
- Standard shaping decreases at armholes and sleeve heads
Materials
- Main shade yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky shade 637 – between 2 and 5 balls of 25g depending on size
