Bandaí na Laochra

Introducing Bandaí na Laochra (Warrior’s Bands) from my exclusive Ardee Collection! This stunning four-piece knitting pattern collection draws inspiration from the legendary battle between Cú Chulainn and Ferdia in the renowned Irish epic, Táin Bó Cúailnge, also known as the “Cattle Raid of Cooley.” Each piece in the collection is carefully crafted using super chunky yarn and features intricate Celtic motifs designed to beautifully depict the fierce warriors and the enchanting Irish landscape that surrounds them.

The Bandaí na Laochra pattern evokes the image of a traditional band that warriors might wear proudly in their hair or as wrist adornments. These versatile bands work up quickly, making them an ideal project for using up any leftover yarns you have on hand. Plus, the pattern is written with customization in mind, allowing you to easily adjust the length to achieve your desired fit or style.

Utilizing a provisional cast on combined with the elegant Kitchener stitch, this pattern ensures a seamless finish that will impress anyone who lays eyes on your creation. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the Bandaí na Laochra bands offer a unique and rewarding knitting experience.
