Stylecraft 9485 Child DK Sweater & Cardigan Knitting Pattern
Create a beautiful and practical children’s knitwear set with the Stylecraft 9485 Child DK Sweater and Cardigan Knitting Pattern. Designed for comfort, durability, and everyday wear, this versatile pattern includes instructions for both a classic sweater and a coordinating cardigan.
Pattern Overview
To begin with, this design is worked in Batik Swirl DK yarn, which produces attractive colour variation and a soft, wearable finish. However, you can also use any standard DK yarn, allowing you flexibility in both colour and fibre choice.
That said, it is recommended to complete a tension square before starting. This helps ensure accurate sizing and a neat, professional result.
Sizes Included
In addition, this pattern covers a practical children’s size range:
- Chest Size: 56–76 cm
- Inches: 22–30
- Age Range: Approximately 2–11 years
Therefore, it is suitable for a wide range of ages and growing children.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following essentials ready:
- 1 pair of 4mm knitting needles (UK 8 / US 6)
- 4 buttons (1cm, cardigan only)
Consequently, with just a small selection of tools and fastenings, you can complete both garment styles with ease.

- Two garment options in one pattern – sweater and cardigan
- Attractive Batik Swirl DK effect – adds colour variation and interest
