An excellent company to deal with
It was a LOVELY pattern to work with. I have knitted one of the cardigans, and the hat, and they have both turned out beautiful. The pattern was accurate and easy to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed working from it.

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar, published as pattern number 1815, offers a comprehensive collection of baby knits worked in Sirdar Snuggly DK yarn. The pattern covers seven individual designs — three cardigans, two hats, bootees, and mittens — all sized to fit babies from premature through to 12 months. With five size options ranging from a 26 cm (10¼ in) chest up to a 46 cm (18 in) chest, this pattern is a versatile wardrobe builder for newborns and young infants alike. The pattern is rated as intermediate in difficulty, making it well suited to knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping and simple garment construction.
The collection brings together coordinating pieces that can be mixed and matched to create complete outfits. Each design is worked in Sirdar Snuggly DK (yarn code F075), with specific shades called out for individual pieces. The pattern also notes compatibility with Sirdar Supersoft DK, Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK, and Tiny Tots DK, giving knitters some flexibility in yarn choice, though yarn amounts may vary accordingly.
The first cardigan design features a classic V-neck shaping, worked in Sirdar Snuggly DK shade 403. This is a timeless baby garment style that sits flat and open at the front, making it easy to dress and undress a young baby. The actual chest measurement ranges from 29 cm (11½ in) for premature sizing up to 51 cm (20 in) for the 12-month size, with a full length of 13 cm to 29 cm depending on the size knitted.
The V-neck shaping involves decreasing stitches at a central front point to create the characteristic angled neckline. Front bands are typically worked to accommodate button and buttonhole placement. Sleeve length is described as adjustable, allowing knitters to customise the fit.
The second cardigan design adds a collar detail to a classic button-front baby cardigan, worked in Sirdar Snuggly DK shade 407. The collar is knitted as part of the finishing process, adding a neat and traditional look to the garment. This design uses slightly more yarn than the V-neck version in the larger sizes.
Working a knitted collar requires picking up stitches around the neckline and working short rows or straight rows to build the collar shape. This technique introduces knitters to neckline finishing beyond a simple ribbed band, making it a satisfying intermediate-level skill to practise.
The third cardigan replaces the collar with a practical and cosy hood, again worked in Sirdar Snuggly DK shade 406. A hooded baby cardigan is a popular choice for keeping infants warm, and the hood is constructed to sit neatly when worn up and fold back comfortably when not needed.

Excellent range, always pleased with my products. Great choice in patterns, easy to follow. I love the instant downloads and then using the app to work the pattern.
A nice pattern, easy to read and follow. I ordered the digital version and that worked well as there was no wait for it to arrive.
Good pattern and easy to understand
This pattern was easy to read and follow. I used a different yarn brand of DK weight and it worked up well.
I haven't made the garment yet but the pattern looks comprehensive and was easy to access
a great baby pattern and knitted up lovely
Lovely pattern - very neat, the way you knit two sleeves first then join them into the main body of the cardigan, then do the raglan shaping all together. Knitted two in Snuggly 419 and 403
Have knitted cardigan and hat and am very pleased with them
Knitted this up in a lovely pale grey sirdar snuggly wool and so chuffed at how the hoodie, hat and mitts turned out. My friends little man will be gorgeous in this set 😁
