Baby’s Sailing Sweater – Knitting Pattern

I recently had the pleasure of knitting the Sailing Sweater from the Snuggly Favourites collection by Sirdar. This pattern, along with the rest of the collection, features beautiful designs for a new generation of Snuggly babies. The designers at Sirdar have re-imagined the collection in the most delicate and fairy tale shades of Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk.

The sailing sweater is a classic and stylish design that is perfect for keeping your little one warm and cozy during the colder months. The pattern is easy to follow and the finished product is absolutely adorable. The best part is that it’s knitted with Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk, a luxurious yarn that is gentle on your baby’s skin and will keep them warm and cozy without scratching.

The yarn is blended from the softest cashmere, smoothest silk, and pure merino wool, making it a luxurious and extra special gift for your new arrival. The yarn is not only gentle on baby’s skin, but it also has a beautiful drape and sheen that adds an extra touch of elegance to the finished product.

I’m so impressed with the quality of the pattern and the yarn that I can’t wait to make more items from this collection. The Snuggly Favourites collection is perfect for making treasured gifts for your little one or for special babies in your life. I highly recommend the Sailing Sweater and the entire Snuggly Favourites collection.

I have a fond memory of a special baby sweater I had when I was a baby. The sweater was a beautiful sailing design, with a cute boat and little sailors on it. I remembered how cozy and warm I felt wearing it, and how my parents would always take pictures of me in it.

As I grew older and became a mother myself, I wanted to share the same special memories with my own child. I searched high and low for the pattern of the sailing sweater, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. That’s when I came across the Sirdar Snuggly Favourites collection, this top is not the same as the dress I wore, but very close.

I took pictures of my child in the sweater, and placed them next to my own baby pictures.

From that day on, the sailing sweater became a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, always reminding us of the love and memories shared by the family. I hope my daughter will take a photo of her daughter in the same navy blue sweater.

I hadn’t heard of Laura Sebastian’s fantasy series Castles in Their Bones until I stumbled upon Mary P. Hunt’s knitting patterns inspired by the series, but if you’re already a fan (of this series in particular or fantasy in general) you’re sure to enjoy these designs.

The book series, in case you’re curious, follows triplet princesses who each marry a prince on their 16th birthday as part of their mother’s master plan to take over the whole continent of Vesteria. (Thanks, GoodReads!)

I don’t know how I found the (all these links ahead are to Ravelry, FYI) Star-Touched Hat knitting pattern, but it was the first one I saw. There’s also a coordinating cowl and mittens if you want to complete the full set.

All of them prominently feature stars and have a sort of Art Deco feel. They call for DK weight yarn in two colors, so you could make them all to match or use different colors for each.

The hat comes in five sizes, ranging in circumference from 18.5 to 22.3 inches (or 47 to 57 cm). It can be worked with a short brim or a folded brim.

The mittens come in small and large adult sizes, with extended sizes for both (more length is included in the extended sizes). These feature a cool Latvian braid at the top of the cuff, which is a fun skill to learn.

And the cowl is one size, on the smaller side as cowls go, measuring about 13.5 inches/34.5 cm tall and 26 inches/66 cm around.

The designer suggests you can hold a bit of metallic thread along with your yarn to give it more of a sparkly, regal, celestial feel, but that’s totally up to you!

As mentioned above you can get all of these patterns on Ravelry. As of this writing there doesn’t seem to be a discount from buying all three, but maybe that will change.
