Donal Traditional Aran Jumper and Hat

This traditional Aran sweater and matching hat set is the perfect warm and cozy addition to your little one’s wardrobe, making it ideal for chilly days. Not only is this pattern a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels, but it also showcases the timeless beauty of Aran stitches. Create it in classic cream for that quintessential traditional look, or choose from a vibrant palette of colors to reflect your child's unique personality. I personally utilized pure wool for this set, as I had just enough leftover yarn, but you might want to consider a washable yarn option designed to endure those inevitable messy playtimes! The name "Donal" (pronounced Doe-nall) carries a lovely meaning—“great chief” or “ruler of the world”—which adds a special touch to this charming ensemble.
