Product Details

ABOUT THE PATTERN

Liam is an Aran scarf featuring many of my favorite textured stitch patterns and a cable from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. In traditional fishermen’s garments each stitch is thought to represent a part of life. For example, cables to represent a fisherman’s ropes, a half diamond for twisting cliff paths, moss stitch for seaweed and so on. Named for one of my favorite Irish folk singers William “Liam” Clancy from Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary. Instructions are written and charted. I much prefer charted directions for patterns like this but included written instructions to accommodate knitters who do not.
