Choosing among knitting & crochet patterns is easiest when the craft, finished project, and price all match your plan. This pair presents a clear fork between knitting and crochet. The listed prices are far apart, but the bigger decision is whether the pattern's format fits the project you actually want to make.
Quick verdict
The New Sirdar 5118 points to a knitting project, while the GRANNY STRIPE BABY BLANKET CROCHET PATTERN points to crochet. Decide on the craft first, then use the $6.85 listed-price spread as a tie-breaker. Sirdar is the clearer match for a sweater-focused plan; Granny Stripe is the more focused choice for a baby blanket.

Where each pattern wins
Sirdar 5118
Sirdar 5118 wins for shoppers prioritizing a blue pattern in new condition. Those attributes give the choice a concrete fit before you get into the garment design itself. It also suits someone who has already decided that knitting a wearable piece is the goal. The main tradeoff is that its project direction is specific, so it is less relevant if your plan is centered on a blanket or crochet work.
Granny Stripe Baby Blanket
Granny Stripe wins for a clearly specified crochet brief. Its finished size of 24 × 28 inches and worsted-weight yarn give a shopper two practical planning anchors, while the United States country-of-origin detail and single-pattern type further describe the format. The tradeoff is its used condition and pattern-only format, so it is intended for someone seeking instructions rather than a ready-made blanket.
Product notes
New Sirdar 5118 Denim Ultra Off Shoulder Tank Top Sweater Knitting Pattern
The case for the New Sirdar 5118 Denim Ultra Off Shoulder Tank Top Sweater Knitting Pattern is its focused garment brief: the title names an off-shoulder tank top sweater, and the description identifies it as a knitting pattern. The listed blue color and new condition add two concrete reasons to choose it if those details fit your project plan. Its limitation is that the design is tied to that particular sweater silhouette rather than a blanket-style project. It is also the higher-priced choice in this comparison at USD 8.00, so it makes most sense when the garment direction matters more than minimizing the upfront price.
Granny Stripe Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
For a tightly defined crochet project, the GRANNY STRIPE BABY BLANKET CROCHET PATTERN has a useful brief: a finished size of 24 × 28 inches and worsted-weight yarn. It is marked for crochet in both craft type and technique, making the intended method clear. The important limitation is format: it is for the pattern only, not a finished blanket, and its condition is used. That means it suits a shopper who wants instructions for making the blanket, not someone looking for a ready-made item. Its title is highly specific, so choose it when the baby-blanket goal-not a sweater-is what you need.
Final choice by use case
- For a knitted wearable: Choose the Sirdar 5118 pattern. Its title directly names a sweater design, making the intended project clear.
- For a crochet blanket: Choose the Granny Stripe pattern. Its stated finished size and yarn weight give the project a defined starting point.
- For the lower upfront price: Choose Granny Stripe. The listed-price spread is $6.85, making it the lower-cost choice in this pair.
- For a blue, new pattern: Choose Sirdar 5118, whose listed attributes match both preferences.
