DRAKES POOL

$6.79$7.94

“Drake’s Pool”  is a simple but very effective Aran cable pattern.  It has been designed for beginners looking for a little bit of a challenge but interesting enough to keep more experienced knitters engaged.  This 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 3/4 year old.

Drakes Pool 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!

  • Printed & Posted patterns are printed in full colour on 120gsm office paper.  Patterns are sent 1st Class Royal Mail delivery in hard-backed envelopes and protective sleeves to ensure they arrive to you in the best possible condition.

Description

 

“Drake’s Pool” has been named after a tranquil and absolutely stunning area between Crosshaven and Carrigaline in Co Cork.  The story of Drake’s Pool is on the pattern and another of the areas I love to vistit.

My Irish roots have inspired my love of the Aran style of knitting and I have introduced a modern twist to my creations.  Experience is required to knit this pattern.

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 3/4 year old.  Always measure the child prior to starting your project.

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.

    My first attempt at cable knitting and I found this pattern easy to follow and a joy to knit. Really pleased with the finished product. A great pattern to get you started with cable knitting. I also love the finishing touch of Donna’s Snug as a Bug wooden buttons.

    A beautiful fast knit and only really 2 out of 6 rows of pattern. Effective in any colour.
