by Beth Shea, 03/11/10

Your little Irish rose, or strapping young lad, will look adorable in this authentic hand-knit cardigan, crafted in the traditional Aran style by an Irish knitter in Ireland who boasts 40 years of knitting experience! Also dubbed a “fisherman” sweater, the classic Aran knitting technique is known to keep wearers warm — and these garments were originally fashioned by wives of Irish fisherman on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Your wee one can cozy up in this timeless sweater which “boasts diamond and moss stitch in perfect detail,” as expertly made by Irish Woolen Etsy shop owner. Designed to fit children 12-18 months.
