Description
Ballycotton is an Aran set comprising of shawl neck jumper and hat.
My Irish roots have inspired my love of the Aran style of knitting and I have introduced a modern twist to my creations.
Size Guide: The pattern for a Hat and Cardigan has instructions to fit 16″ to 30″ chest so approx 0 – 10 years. Always measure the child prior to starting your project as all children are different.
Wool & yarn recommendation…
I often get asked which wool I use and who my yarn supplier is! For this knit I have used Stylecraft Special Aran which I selected for its softness, it is very gentle on a baby’s skin. There are over 88 different shades available through LoveCrafts, who are my preferred yarn and wool supplier. (Spend over £25 to get free P&P and sign up their newsletter for 15% off your first order!)… I would also recommend Paintbox Aran for this pattern.

This pattern is so lovely. The mix of stitches is beautiful and can do bigger children. What a bonus.

Beautiful pattern. Made for my granddaughter using ‘Lollipop Aran’ from ‘Hobbii’ in Denmark. I think this pattern will be used again as she grows.
