Barney McGonagle

Introducing the Barney McGonagle Jacket and Hat Knitting Pattern - a heartfelt tribute to my hardworking maternal grandfather, Barney McGonagle. Inspired by my rich Irish heritage, I have crafted this unique pattern featuring an Aran style that blends traditional elements with a modern twist. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or looking to enhance your skills, this pattern captures the essence of dedication and craftsmanship.

Designed for little ones aged 0-2 years, this wonderful pattern includes detailed instructions for creating a stylish jacket and matching hat. It’s available in a range of chest sizes – 16?, 18?, 20?, and 22? – accommodating various stages of growth. The finished jacket will provide warmth and comfort, and by simply extending the length of the arms and body on the largest size, it can easily fit a child of up to 3 years old, making this project both practical and versatile.

This unique pattern is knitted using Stylecraft Special Aran yarn, ensuring a high-quality finish that is soft against the skin—and perfect for your little ones. Knitting is done on straight needles, and while some previous experience is beneficial, the clear instructions included will guide you step-by-step. Once your purchase is complete, you’ll receive a PDF download directly to your email from Etsy, so you can get started on this beautiful project right away.

Unleash your creativity as you embark on this enjoyable knitting adventure and create a treasured keepsake that celebrates family heritage. Knitting the Barney McGonagle Jacket and Hat pattern is not just a craft; it’s a heartfelt journey connecting you to your roots while providing comfort and style for the next generation.
