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.

Adding eyelets to a project is a great way to make it more wearable in the summer, and these mesh and eyelet sweater patterns are perfect for summer (and beyond!) for layering.

The Inez Summer Sweater from Happy Love Co combines eyelets and dropped stitches (along with some garter and stockinette) to make a casual and fun summer sweater. The pattern is one size (56 inches or 142.24 cm) around, and is meant to be worn oversized. But it’s an easy enough pattern you could alter it to suit you without too much difficulty. It calls for worsted weight cotton yarn.

Another fun project using dropped stitches in the Stella Blouse from Thelma Steimann. It calls for a fingering weight silk yarn and is worked on larger than expected needles and also uses dropped stitches. The pattern includes eight sizes, with a bust circumference ranging from 33.5 to 51.5 inches, or 85-131 cm. You can grab a copy on Ravelry.

The Design Studio Knits has a nice summer cotton tee that uses worsted weight yarn worked on larger needles so it has a mesh effect while still being worked in stockinette stitch. It’s worked in one piece and is another one size pattern, meant to fit an actual chest measurement ranging from 34 to 46 inches (that’s 86 to 117 cm).

A similar look with a cropped shape and four available sizes comes from A Box of Twine. This one is a DK weight yarn knit on large needles and still has an oversized look (for instance the size small is 42 inches/106.68 cm at the bust). It’s worked flat so this is a great one for beginners.

If you want something a little more structured, try the Pip Cardigan from Yoko Johnston. This sport weight cardigan has an allover eyelet pattern and options to close with a zipper or buttons. It’s worked from the top down and has six size options. This one is also oversized, with finished measurements ranging from 51.5 to 64.5 inches, or 131 to 164 cm). You can find this one on Ravelry.

Or check out Endlessly by Amy Gunderson, a free pattern from Knitty. This pullover uses a cable and lace pattern that is easy to knit and to wear. It uses DK weight yarn and has nine size options. The chest measurement ranges from 34.75 to 66.75 inches, or 88.5 to 169.5 cm, and is meant to be worn with a little positive ease.
