Description
My Irish roots have inspired my love of the Aran style of knitting and I have introduced a modern twist to my creations. Some experience is required to knit this beautiful pattern and it is suitable for a boy or girl.
Size Guide: The pattern for a Hat and Jacket has instructions to fit 16″, 18″, 20″ and 22″ chest and the end product is larger as it is a jacket. By extending the length of the arms and body on the largest size, it would easily fit a 3 year old.
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.

Loved making this cosy cardigan for my granddaughter. I’m sure she will get a lot of wear from it.

Another amazing pattern. It needs a bit of concentration but we’ll worth it in the end.

I love this pattern. It’s always my go to Aran pattern. It’s so straightforward but lovely when knitted. I also have a soft spot for the place Castlefin as my father was born there. Definitely one to purchase if you don’t already have it in your collection
