Dunmore East is a beautiful set which is created with an evocative stitch for me. The pattern contains instructions for both the Cardigan and Headband. With 4 sizes, 16″ – 22″, Dunmore East will fit approx birth to 2 years. Finished sizes are 18″ – 24″ so with a few adjustments on sleeves and body it should fit a growing toddler.
Graded as intermediate level, it features an Asian inspired stitch – Annmarie has created a very helpful video to assist you in achieving this stitch along with the step by step abbreviation.
This pattern is written in English using UK terms.
This design holds a deeply special place in my heart. Named after Dunmore East in Co. Waterford, it was designed to mark the memory of the last family holiday I spent with my late brother, Andy, in a lovely coastal cottage. Every stitch carries a piece of that cherished time.

I often get asked which wool I use and who my yarn supplier is! For this knit I have used Stylecraft Special DK 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 £40 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.
