Graball Bay

Description

Graball Bay is a stunning and distinguished Aran cable knit pattern which is suitable for both boys and girls.  I have named this pattern after a beach just outside Crosshaven, Co Cork which holds many memories for people all around Cork and is still a very popular place today.  On the pattern itself I have included memories from one particular family, the Mulcahy’s.

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.
