Classic Aran Handknit stitches from this region knit in real wool. The diamond is a central strong characteristic aran stitch, said to represent our fields and to herald prosperity. The link stitch along side it often known as a fern or feather in Donegal is a gentle cable that glides through the needles and frames the diamond beautifully. A great Aran beginner or improver project and GIFT idea. Size approx 10 inches wide x 70 ins long or longer is desired. OR make into neck cowls (yarn will make three) Needles: One pair of UK 5mm (not included) OR 5.5mm if a tight knitter  No sewing required. All wool yarns included will have 15% more than needed. That's 400g (750 yards)  Comes in a white cardboard BOX with lots of tissue to suit a gift purchase.    Pattern supplied plus another pattern added.
