Womens Irish Fisherman Knit Aran Sweater - Crew Neck Cardigan - Natural

Stay warm with this traditional new wool sweater which has kept Irish seacoast dwellers warm for generations.  Popular legend holds that fishermen wore Aran Sweaters, each of whom had a unique design based on their family or clan.  If he (she) drowned and was found weeks later, the Aran Sweaters would help to identify the body.  Traditional Aran Crew Sweaters are distinguished by their use of several complex textured stitch patterns.  The honeycomb pattern on the front of our Irish Fisherman's Sweater is a symbol of the hard-working bee.  The cable, an integral part of the fisherman's daily life, is said to be a wish for safety and good luck when fishing.  The diamond is a wish of success, wealth, and treasure.  Longer length; falls below hips. Relaxed shoulder for optimum comfort.  The Traditional Aran Crew Cardigan Sweater is a great gift for a lady who lives in a cold climate and appreciates authentic clothing.  Made in Ireland
