The history of the Irish Knit Sweaters began in Galway, Ireland by the Aran clan. The original sheep's wool sweaters were made for the farmers and fishermen of this area who wore these very warm sweaters to protect themselves from the harsh Atlantic weather. Their many intricate stitches are called "Aran" stitches.
The yarn is "Snuggly Wuggly" Baby Sport yarn in Antique White, and is 100% Acrylic. The 4 little buttons that close the Sweater are wooden buttons. The matching hat was crocheted in the same pattern with earflaps to keep your little one's ear warm.
Both sweater sets can be purchased in either size or color and are machine washable and dryable (although I suggest blocking the sweater when wet).
****If ordering for a little girl - I can add tiny flowers on the front of the Sweater - or instead of a "pom-pom" on top of the hat, I can add a crocheted flower on the hat.****
