Description
My nephew Dylan lives in Ballindrait, Co Donegal. His home has the most amazing views as it is perched on a hill. Dylan is funny, talented, gifted, loving and very cheeky. Such a loveable wee man who has inspired this design!
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.

Only my third pattern of Donnas and the pictures looked stunning but daunting. I needn’t have worried as it was so very well explained and made it so easy to do. I was well chuffed as I really didn’t think I could do it.Donna and her team have made such beautiful patterns that give you such confidence. Dylan is stunning and i’ll be doing another one very soon.
