nspired y the grassy plains, curving rivers, and

rugged mountains of the Irish landscape, Aran sweaters

have a long history. Many believe they harken from the days

of family clans and sailors washed ashore—you can pur-

chase an “historical” Aran sweater named for a particular

family or clan. However, all of these designs were most likely

created by a single knitter for the tourist trade. The Brigid

Jacket pays homage to traditional Aran cardigans as well as

the duffle coats of the 1970s and 1980s (themselves a new

interpretation of their time). This cropped version features

an updated color, large and funky cables up the fronts, a

wide rib buttonband, and three bold buttons, complement-

ing the organic and rustic look.

his pretty picot-edged shawl is a great traveling

or weekend project. It is knitted point to point in a garter-

based bias-stitch pattern that is worked simultaneously with

the picot edge. The construction is simple enough for be-

ginners and interesting enough to keep advanced knitters

engrossed. The bias pattern creates a Faroese-style wing to

shape to the points, which allows it to drape comfortably

around the shoulders. Knitted in a worsted-weight luxury

yarn, this shawl mixes the practical warmth of a thick home-

spun peddler’s shawl with the softness of a fine egency-era

cashmere shawl. ndlessly customizable, this shawl is ideal

for quick gifts and using up that odd skein or two of yarn.
