Sirdar Snuggly 100% Merino 4 Ply Cardigans – Pattern 5264: Detailed Summary

This downloadable PDF pattern from Sirdar (design number 5264) provides instructions for knitting two charming baby and toddler cardigans using Sirdar Snuggly 100% Merino 4 Ply yarn. Rated intermediate in difficulty, the pattern covers sizes from 0–6 months up to 2–3 years, making it a versatile addition to any baby knitter's collection. Both designs feature three-colour striped or colourblock styling, giving each finished garment a fresh, modern look while remaining classically sweet for little ones.

Design One: Three-Colour Round-Neck Cardigan

The first design is a three-colour round-neck cardigan, worked in Sirdar Snuggly 100% Merino 4 Ply. The sample shown uses shades 071 Lagoon, 122 Storm, and 072 Ocean — a beautifully coordinated palette of cool blues and teals that complement one another naturally. The round neckline gives this cardigan a soft, classic silhouette perfectly suited to babies and toddlers.
