September 16, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

Design No 5420 Sirdar Pattern , is a baby sweater pattern from the Wishing On A Star collection, featuring a round neck or frilled collar version with embroidered twinkling star motifs. The pattern uses Hayfield Baby Bonus DK yarn, a soft and durable yarn that’s perfect for baby clothes. The pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters, which means knitters who have some experience with knitting and have learned the basic techniques.

The sweater is knit with a combination of 4mm (UK8 – USA6) and 3.25mm (UK10 – USA3) knitting needles, as well as a 3.25mm (UK10 – USA3) 40cm circular needle. The star motifs are then embroidered using a simple lazy daisy stitch, adding a touch of elegance and charm to the sweater. The pattern also includes instructions for adding a button to the sweater, which can be used to fasten it in the front.

This pattern is perfect for knitters who are looking to add a touch of elegance and charm to their baby’s wardrobe. The star motifs are sure to make the sweater stand out and the soft and durable yarn is perfect for keeping your baby comfortable. It is a perfect addition to any baby’s wardrobe, especially for the winter season, and makes a great gift for new parents.

Overall, Design No 5420 is an adorable and elegant baby sweater pattern from the Wishing On A Star collection, featuring embroidered twinkling star motifs.

Choose Your Own Brioche Knitting Adventure with this Shawl Knitting Pattern

If you’re looking for a fun project to play with brioche knitting, check out the My Buddy knitting pattern/recipe from Casuarinagirl on Ravelry. 

This project doesn’t include a brioche tutorial, so it’s good to know the basics, including how to increase and decrease, but you can always practice on a swatch before you start the project if you want. 

The design is meant to be flexible for the yarn you have and what size and shape of project you want to make, from a skinny neck scarf to a asymmetrical triangle or a more classic triangular shape. 

The shape you end up with will depend on how often you increase (and then decrease on the other side). The pattern mentions increasing every fourth, fifth or six row (and the one shown increases and decreases every sixth row) but you can do it even more or less often depending on the shape you’re looking for an how much yarn you want to use. 

You can work to whatever depth you would like, or use almost half of the yarn you have set aside for the project and begin decreasing. 

When it comes to yarn, she used three strands of yarn held together to make a super fluffy shawl, but you can work it with whatever yarn and needles you like to make a wrap that’s all your own. 

If you are new to brioche (or to increasing and decreasing in brioche) it might be a good idea to make a little scarf or head wrap first before diving in to the bigger pattern, just so you’re more comfortable with the technique. Or just give it a go; nothing about brioche knitting is that difficult. (But you might want to use a lifeline because I find brioche hard to rip out or fix mistakes in properly.)

You can grab the free pattern for the Buddy Wrap on Ravelry.
