About This Pattern Collection
This downloadable knitting pattern from Sirdar features two fun superhero-themed hats designed for children aged 3-7 years. Created using Snuggly Replay double knitting yarn, these intermediate-level projects combine playful design with practical everyday wear that appeals to growing children. The pattern collection is part of Sirdar's Super Hero Daywear range, developed to make getting kids dressed more exciting and engaging.
Bat Ears Hat
What is Being Made: A novelty knitted hat featuring bat-shaped ears, designed to fit children ages 3-7 years. The hat comes in five size options with circumferences ranging from 41cm to 47cm and depths from 18cm to 20cm, accommodating growing children across the specified age range.
Techniques and Construction: This intermediate-level design uses fundamental knitting techniques suitable for crafters with some experience. The pattern employs double knitting yarn for a smooth, durable fabric appropriate for children's wear. The distinctive bat ears require shaping techniques to create the characteristic silhouette.
Stitches Used: The pattern utilizes standard knitting stitches appropriate for double knitting weight yarn. Construction involves working in the round and shaping techniques necessary to form the bat ear details.
Materials Required: One 50g ball of Sirdar Snuggly Replay in shade 121 (Midnight Snack), paired with 4mm (UK8/USA6) knitting needles and 3¼mm (UK10/USA3) knitting needles for ribbing or edging work.
Spiders Web Hat
What is Being Made: A second superhero-themed hat featuring a spiders web design, also sized for children ages 3-7 years with the same circumference and depth measurements as the Bat Ears Hat.
Techniques and Construction: This intermediate-level design incorporates colorwork techniques to create the spiders web pattern. The two-color construction adds visual interest while maintaining the same practical, everyday wearability as the companion hat.
Stitches Used: The pattern combines standard knitting stitches with colorwork methods to produce the web design. Double knitting weight yarn allows for clear stitch definition and pattern visibility.
Materials Required: One 50g ball each of Sirdar Snuggly Replay in shade 116 (Race Car Red) for the primary color and shade 121 (Midnight Snack) for the contrasting web design. The same needle sizes apply: 4mm (UK8/USA6) and 3¼mm (UK10/USA3) knitting needles.
