Sirdar Pullover Sweater - Design No. 2536
What is Being Made
This is a children's pullover sweater designed for ages 3 to 7 years, available in both long-sleeved and short-sleeved versions. The Sirdar Pullover is part of the Snuggly Replay collection, created with nostalgic childhood style in mind. The sweater features a classic crew neck pullover construction suitable for everyday wear and casual adventures.
Craft and Materials
This is a knitting project worked in Double Knitting weight yarn. The recommended yarn is Sirdar Snuggly Replay, a cotton-blend yarn specifically designed for children. Snuggly Replay features soft, marled shades that are lightweight, washable, and gentle on tender skin. Available colors include shade 103 Replay Grey, shade 104 Boogie Board Brown, shade 105, shade 108 Bunny Hop Blue, and shade 115 Pogo Purple. The yarn has been rigorously tested to ensure it remains soft and comfortable through repeated washing.
Techniques Used
The Sirdar Pullover is constructed using bottom-up construction, meaning the sweater is knitted starting from the lower edge and working upward. The garment is worked flat on needles rather than in the round, and pieces are seamed together to create the finished sweater. This traditional flat-knit, seamed approach allows for straightforward shaping and assembly.
Stitches and Gauge
The primary stitch used throughout this design is Stocking Stitch, which creates a smooth, classic fabric texture ideal for children's everyday wear. The gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches and 28 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in Stocking Stitch. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper fit across the five size options.
