Castlefin

£5.95£6.95

I love the cable on this pattern, very olde modern if you know what I mean!  The pattern for a Hat and Jacket has instructions to fit 16″, 18″, 20″ and 22″ chest.

Castlefin is a village in Co Donegal and where my mother was born and brought up.  It really is an idyllic little town and the shirt factory where my mother started working at when she was 14 is still there.  If you ever visit I would highly recommend going to McGlynn’s. The food is wonderful and plentiful so you need to be really hungry!

The pattern contains instructions for a Jacket and Traditional hat 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.  Some experience is required.

Castlefinn is an Aran Knitting Pattern available to purchase in PDF form for immediate download or to have printed and posted to you (UK only) for a flat fee of £2.95 to cover postage and packaging – so you’re always best ordering a couple of patterns together!

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.

    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
