Timeless Aran knitting patterns
By Beth Shearing 8 years ago

When asked about Aran knitting patterns, us knitters imagine ourselves snuggled up in a sweater decorated with cable stitches.

Totally timeless in appearance, these kind of knits take their name from the trio of islands west of Galway Bay.

Traditionally designed to keep fishermen warm, jumpers were worked in 100% wool in a natural cream colour - but we love experimenting with different shades today.

We've also branched out from garments and often transform Aran knitting patterns into other things like shawls too.

Mens Aran Sweater Knitting Pattern

Our Aran Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern is something we’re sure you’ll knit up more than once.

A wonderful present to take along to a baby shower, the super-soft throw is perfect for wrapping a tiny tot up in. Your pets will love it too...

And thanks to its classic design, it’s a shawl that really that won’t date - it even has the potential to be an heirloom that’s passed down through the family.

If you’re not looking to knit a present for a newborn, any style-conscious man would appreciate being given a jumper made using our Men’s Aran Sweater Knitting Pattern.

The long-sleeved design features a turned-over collar and has stripes as well as traditional cables. Pick a muted shade such as brown, navy or grey and it promises to be an autumn/winter fashion staple for years to come.

Girls Aran Jumper Knitting Pattern

Our online store also boasts a great example of how charming Aran knitting patterns for girls can be.

We simply adore the eye-catching Girl's Aran Jumper Knitting Pattern which we've knitted up in a vivid green.

Cute and cosy with cropped sleeves, it's ideal for the change in seasons. If you get to work now, the knit will be ready before the weather turns colder.

And for ladies, the Original Vintage 1965 Women’s Aran Cardigan Knitting Pattern is a firm favourite among members of The Knitting Network team.

The original instructions say, ‘Choose a gentle shade - natural, water lily green, butterscotch - and let the stitch speak for itself,’ and we couldn't agree more. Wear over a smart dress for a 60s office vibe.
