Inis Meain

Discover the charm of Ireland with our Inis Meain Wrap pattern, named after a picturesque small Aran Island off the enchanting West coast of Ireland. This traditional cable knit wrap not only showcases exquisite craftsmanship but also evokes a sense of wildness, conjuring up vivid images of desolate moors and the cold, grey waters of far-away places.

Inspired by the rich heritage and style of the classic Gansey Fisherman’s Sweater, the Inis Meain Wrap features a stunning traditional chain link cable as its centerpiece. This intricate design symbolizes the open weave of fishermen's nets, weaving together the beauty and functionality of coastal life. Moreover, the wrap is thoughtfully adorned with other beloved traditional elements such as Jacob’s Ladder and twisted cable patterns, mirroring the ropes and knots that are an everyday part of a fisherman’s life on the rugged shores of Ireland.

Each cable pattern is meticulously both written and charted for your ease of use. The accompanying images also showcase an alternative version knitted in the lovely Wool of the Andes Tweed Lost Lake Heather (25447), further inspiring your creative journey.

Embrace the spirit of the sea and the artistry of knitting with this beautifully intricate wrap that pays homage to Irish heritage. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Inis Meain Wrap is a perfect project to enhance your knitting skills while creating a timeless piece that celebrates tradition and style.
