Hooded Jacket and Sweaters in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4 Ply – Pattern 4662

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar is a versatile collection designed for babies and young children, covering sizes from premature right through to 5 years. The pattern includes three separate garment designs: a classic Sweater, a Hooded Jacket, and a Hooded Sweater, all worked in the same lightweight yarn. Having three coordinating designs in a single pattern makes it an excellent choice for knitters looking to build a complete handmade wardrobe for a little one, or for those who want to knit matching pieces for siblings or as gifts.

Garments Included in This Pattern

Sweater

The first design is a straightforward baby and toddler sweater, a timeless pullover style suited to everyday wear. It is worked in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4 Ply in shade 166 and requires between 1 and 4 balls of yarn depending on the size being knitted. The sweater is designed to fit chest measurements ranging from 36 cm (14 in) for premature babies up to 61 cm (24 in) for a child aged 4–5 years, with actual garment measurements providing a comfortable amount of ease.

Hooded Jacket

The second design is a hooded jacket, adding a practical and cosy hood to a traditional baby cardigan or jacket silhouette. This garment is knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4 Ply in shade 146 and requires between 2 and 4 balls of yarn across the size range. The addition of a hood makes this jacket especially functional for cooler weather, keeping a baby's or toddler's head warm without the need for a separate hat. The jacket format typically features a front opening, making dressing and undressing young children much easier.

Hooded Sweater

The third design combines the warmth of a hood with the simplicity of a pullover, resulting in a hooded sweater. It is worked in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4 Ply in shade 148 and also requires between 2 and 4 balls of yarn. Like the hooded jacket, this design offers the practicality of an integrated hood while maintaining the ease of a slip-on garment with no fastenings to manage.
