Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply Cardigans – Pattern 1750: Three Classic Baby and Toddler Cardigan Designs

Sirdar pattern 1750 is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern featuring three distinct cardigan designs worked in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply yarn. The pattern covers sizes from premature right through to 2–3 years, making it an exceptionally versatile collection for knitters who want to create handmade knitwear for newborns, babies, and young toddlers. All three garments are worked in the same lightweight yarn and on the same needle sizes, so knitters familiar with one design will find it straightforward to move between them.

The Three Cardigan Designs

V Neck Cardigan

The first design in the collection is a classic V Neck Cardigan, a timeless style that suits babies and toddlers of any gender. The V-shaped neckline is a neat, traditional finish that makes dressing and undressing a little easier for caregivers. This version is worked in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply shade 251 as shown in the pattern, and requires 1 to 3 balls of 50g yarn depending on size. The button band is fastened with 3 buttons for the two smallest sizes and 4 buttons for the larger sizes.

Round Neck Cardigan

The second design is a Round Neck Cardigan, offering a softer, more rounded neckline that is a popular choice for younger babies. This style is shown in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply shade 320 and requires 1 to 3 balls of 50g yarn across the size range. The button band uses 4 to 5 buttons depending on the size being knitted, providing a secure and practical front opening.

Cardigan with Collar

The third design adds a collar to the classic cardigan silhouette, giving it a slightly more structured and traditional appearance. This version is shown in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply shade 302 and requires 1 to 3 balls of 50g yarn. Like the Round Neck version, it uses 4 to 5 buttons across the size range. The addition of a collar makes this a particularly appealing choice for special occasions or gifting.

Sizes and Measurements

All three cardigans are worked across six sizes: premature, premature (a second premature size), 0–6 months, 6–12 months, 1–2 years, and 2–3 years. Actual chest measurements range from 34 cm (13½ in) up to 59 cm (23¼ in), with full lengths ranging from 18 cm (7 in) to 38 cm (15 in). Sleeve length is noted as adjustable, ranging from 8 cm (3 in) to 24 cm (9½ in), which gives knitters the flexibility to customise the fit for their individual child.

Yarn and Materials

All three cardigans are knitted in Sirdar Snuggly 4 Ply, a fine-weight yarn sold in 50g balls. The 4 ply weight produces a lightweight, delicate fabric that is well suited to baby and infant garments, providing warmth without bulk. Sirdar's Snuggly range is specifically designed with babies in mind, making it a trusted choice for items worn close to sensitive skin.
