Baby’s Sailing Sweater – Knitting Pattern

September 9, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

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.

Adorable Ghost Knitting Patterns

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair. 

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round. 

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like. 

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately. 

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
