Classic Aran Handknit stitches from this region knit in real wool. The zig-zag revived by Edel from notes in her grandmothers knitting bag. A newspaper article from the 1950's calls it 'the ups and downs of married life'. Here Edel has added double four stitch cables to represent a couple and separate cables on the outside, a symbol of our individuality. A great Aran beginner or improver project. As the largest cable is two over two this is easy aran knitting.  Size approx 10 inches wide x 68-70 ins long or as you wish to knit. May be made as shorter cowls too, the kit would make three cowls! Needles: One pair of UK 5mm (not included) OR 5.5mm if a tight knitter  No sewing required. Yarns included will have 15% more than needed. That's 450g plus, 800yards (you will have plenty to make a hat too!) Comes in a white cardboard BOX with lots of tissue, suitable gift purchase. NO PLASTIC! All packaging reusable and a set of 3 mini yarn tasters included together with a note from Edel (Include name and any details if sending as a gift) Pattern supplied in print and another pattern added. Please e mail us for the pattern download if you'd like to have it.
