Sweaters in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply – Pattern 9505: Crochet Sweater Designs for Sizes 32/34 to 52/54

Pattern 9505 from Sirdar is a downloadable PDF crochet pattern featuring two distinct sweater designs worked in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply yarn. The collection is notable for its inclusive size range, covering bust sizes from 81/86 cm (32/34 in) through to 132/137 cm (52/54 in), making it an excellent choice for crocheters of all body types. Both garments are classic, wearable sweaters with long sleeves, designed to be practical wardrobe staples with a touch of textural interest.

The Two Designs at a Glance

The pattern contains instructions for two separate sweaters, each worked in a different shade of Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply and each featuring a distinct neckline style:

• Round Neck Sweater – worked in Country Style 4 Ply shade 606
• Square Neck Sweater – worked in Country Style 4 Ply shade 527

Both designs share the same overall silhouette and construction approach, with the neckline treatment being the key differentiating feature. The round neck offers a timeless, classic finish, while the square neck provides a more contemporary, fashion-forward look that flatters a wide range of necklines.

Measurements and Fit

The pattern is graded across six sizes, with the following actual (finished) measurements:

• Actual bust measurement: 88 cm (34¾ in) up to 137 cm (54 in)
• Full length: 55 cm (21¾ in) for the smallest size, increasing to 68 cm (26¾ in) for the largest
• Sleeve length: 46 cm (18 in) for the two smallest sizes, up to 48 cm (19 in) for the larger sizes

These measurements indicate a garment with a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit, offering a few centimetres of positive ease across all sizes.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This is a crochet pattern, and it makes use of two distinct stitch structures that are worked at different tensions using different hook sizes, giving the finished sweaters both solid and open-work sections for visual contrast.

• Double crochet (dc): The main body fabric is constructed using double crochet stitches, which produce a dense, firm, and warm fabric. Double crochet is one of the most fundamental crochet stitches, creating a tight, even texture well-suited to garment construction.
• Honeycomb Trellis stitch: A decorative open-work technique incorporating chain spaces (3 to 5 chain spaces) combined with double crochet. The honeycomb trellis creates a lacy, airy mesh effect that adds elegance and lightness to sections of the sweater. Trellis crochet is a classic technique in which chains form diagonal or grid-like patterns anchored by single stitches, resulting in a fabric with beautiful drape and visual texture.

The combination of solid double crochet and the open honeycomb trellis within a single garment is a hallmark of thoughtful crochet design, balancing warmth and structure with decorative detail.

Materials Required

Both sweaters are worked in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply, a 4 ply weight yarn sold in 100g balls. The quantity required varies by size:

• Sizes 40/42 and 44/46: 3 balls
