Sirdar Sleek Sleeveless Hoodie - Design No. 10549
What is Being Made
The Sirdar Sleek Sleeveless Hoodie is a sophisticated womenswear garment featuring a contemporary sleeveless design with an integrated hood. This intermediate-level knitting project produces a refined piece suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone top. The design is available in six sizes, ranging from 81-137cm chest measurement (32-54 inches), accommodating a comprehensive range of fit requirements.
Yarn and Materials
This pattern utilizes Sirdar Cashmere Merino Silk in double knitting weight. The yarn is a luxurious blend combining pure silk, extra fine merino wool, and Himalayan cashmere, creating a sophisticated fiber composition ideal for refined knitwear. The project requires two complementary shades: Shade 405 (Silver Grey) for the primary color and Shade 415 (Polished Copper) for contrast detailing. Yarn quantities vary by size, with the main shade requiring between 9-14 balls of 50g yarn, and the contrast shade requiring 3 balls across all sizes. Knitting is worked on 4mm (UK8 - USA6) needles, with an 80cm circular needle also required for construction.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for crafters with developing skills. The garment is constructed using double knitting weight yarn, which creates a fabric of medium density and drape. The sleeveless construction eliminates the need for sleeve shaping, simplifying the overall build process while maintaining design sophistication. The integrated hood is a key design feature, requiring careful attention to shaping and finishing. The pattern incorporates the use of two yarn colors to create visual interest and definition, allowing crafters to develop their color-work coordination skills.
Stitches and Pattern Details
While specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the provided pattern excerpt, double knitting garments typically employ fundamental stitches including knit and purl stitches as the foundation. The pattern instructions guide knitters through size-specific shaping for the body, armholes, and hood opening. Crafters are advised to follow the pattern instructions carefully for their chosen size to ensure proper fit and proportions. The pattern has been triple-checked by Sirdar to guarantee success when using the recommended Sirdar Cashmere Merino Silk yarn.
