Description
Una is a beautiful Aran knit – it is a very unusual stitch used but stunning.
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.

I absolutely loved knitting this – it flew off my needles and just a few days later the parents of a beautiful 2 year old were raving over the design. Just about to start the next one. Thanks Donna!

Loved knitting this for my grandson. Once you get the hang of the pattern it is relatively easy to knit. Buttons again from Donna.
