This scarf is inspired by traditional hand knitted items made in the Aran Islands. We've used different stitches creating a design whit meanings. The Diamond pattern denotes prosperity and when combined with the cable conveys the wish for success in one's life's work. Cable stitches are a dominant feature of Aran wear representing the fisherman's rope, the livelihood of the people of Aran. Finally, there is the link or chain stitch, which signifies the bond between those families and Irish communities that have emigrated and settled in foreign parts.
This item is a good complement for any winter clothing, an elegant touch. The garment that you cannot fail to take along with the coat on the cold days. It would be a good gift either for her or him, to someone who we want to keep warm.
