Description
Charlee is a member of the team on my Facebook Page and Harper is her daughter. In 2020, she reached a year old and to mark her birth I designed an Aran pattern especially for her! The pattern has proved so popular I have also designed it for a DK yarn which is available separately. No cable needles are required for this one – so it knits up super quick!
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.

I love this pattern as I have a great niece also called Harper and it’s such an easy pattern to do

I really enjoyed knitting this.It was my first ever aran knit and I found the pattern easy to follow and the end result is stunning.I’m a novice knitter (only been knitting for 9 months) and I’d highly recommend this pattern to fellow novice knitters as well as more experienced knitters.It’s simple enough to not seem too daunting but enough detail in it to keep you interested.
