This sweater is knitted using the Aran stitching technique, paying homage to the traditional sweaters worn by Irish fishermen. They offer a dual advantage of enhanced breathability and heat insulation, ensuring it will keep you cozy without overheating. These stitches also are thought to bring blessings and wishes of good luck, telling stories about the people living on the island. The cable stitch, one of the most popular, resembles the fishermen's ropes – and was knitted by local women as a genuine wish for their husbands' safe return and good luck. The diamond stitch alludes to the little farms scattered over the Aran Islands, representing a wish for prosperity. The honeycomb symbolizes the sweet rewards after hard work, and the moss is thought to represent abundance.
With a classic crew ribbed neck, as well as ribbed cuffs and hem, this Irish sweater will integrate a timeless style into your wardrobe. It is perfect to be layered with a shirt or a turtleneck blouse, becoming a versatile & practical garment to have in your collection.
