Time Travel Through Fashion
The Sirdar Heritage Collection is a rich fashion archive of more than 10,000 patterns spanning seven decades. Each season we’ll spotlight styles and give you deeper insight into how Sirdar designs reflected key fashion trends.
Ibiza
Ibiza is known today for its vibrant club scene and nightlife but it first became an international tourist destination as early as the 1950s. Becoming part of the hippy trail in the 60s and 70s and the driving force behind the Baleric Beat in the 80s, its history is richer than you might think. The legendary Cafe Del Mar and iconic clubs like Amnesia, Pacha and Club Ku created a nightclub scene that became famous the world over. Over the decades Sirdar has created patterns for the perfect Ibiza wardrobe.
Super Brights
Bright bold colours is a recurring fashion theme. From psychedelic 60s palettes to 70s glowing primaries, 80s neons and 90s jewel tones, super brights are a key style in the Heritage Collection.
Granny Squares Galore
The humble granny square has been a stalwart of crochet since the 1890s. It’s the ultimate stash busting crochet project that uses up even small amounts of leftover yarn. Easy to master and quick to complete, granny squares delight beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
Trouser Suits
For a 1930s woman, wearing a trouser suit was a controversial fashion statement that could even see her arrested for impersonating a man. By the 60s pant suits were much more acceptable and were often brightly coloured. In the 70s the movie Annie Hall popularised them even further. We created striking knitted versions in a range of colours and styles.
