Aran knitting is a classing style of knitting using lots of cables and embellishments.
Aran knitting originated in the Aran islands off the coast of Ireland. It is characterized by intricately patterned sweaters that involve lots of cables, bobbles and other designs.
It is thought that the women of the islands began to knit these sweaters in the early 1900s, both to clothe their families and to sell to tourists.
They are traditionally made from wool, which makes them warm even when wet. The first patterns for Aran sweaters were published in the 1940s, and they have been popular ever since.
