Connect to a handknit piece of Irish history. In this generous sized Aran scarf the honeycomb stitching frames a central diamond. Soft moss edges make this a wrapable force against any North wind. The perfect heirloom gift. While the origins of the stitches are largely not documented, in the past each knitter often developed a semblance of design on a sweater, unique to her work. Certain stitches were more common in certain locations and stitches were passed through family members. While this is a slow piece to make it suits an Aran knitter who can knit with her eyes closed but isn't up for all the shaping of a sweater. Knitters love to knit.
