Coat, Hat, Bootees and Blanket in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4ply

Overview

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar offers a complete layette set designed for premature babies through 2 years old. The collection includes four coordinating pieces: a knitted coat, bonnet hat, bootees, and blanket, all created using Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4ply yarn in shade 150. This pattern is ideal for creating soft, gentle garments suitable for delicate baby skin.

Coat

The coat is sized to fit chest measurements ranging from 31cm (12 inches) for premature sizes up to 51cm (20 inches) for 1-2 year olds. The actual garment measurements are slightly larger, ranging from 34cm to 54cm to allow for comfortable wear and growth. The full length varies by size, from 18cm (7 inches) for premature sizes to 32cm (12½ inches) for the largest size. Sleeve length is adjustable, starting at 8cm (3 inches) for premature and extending to 20cm (8 inches) for the 1-2 year size. The coat requires 2 to 3 balls of yarn depending on the size selected.

Bonnet Hat

The bonnet is designed to fit an average size baby's head for each age range from premature through 2 years old. This classic baby hat style requires only 1 ball of Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4ply yarn regardless of size.

Bootees

The bootees are tailored to fit an average size baby's feet for the corresponding age groups, from premature through 2 years. Like the bonnet, the bootees require 1 ball of yarn to complete.

Blanket

The blanket is a generous 91 x 91cm (36 x 36 inches), making it suitable for use as a pram blanket, play mat, or nursery accessory. Creating this piece requires 5 balls of Sirdar Snuggly Baby Crofter 4ply yarn.
