Discover the beauty and rich tradition of Irish Aran knitting with our Loop Yarn Finger-Knitting Pattern: the Irish Aran Cabled Trellis Blanket.

The Irish Aran Cabled Trellis Blanket features a captivating mix of stitch techniques, including an elegant chain cable, the intricate trellis, and a stunning four-strand cabled braid.

Often referred to as lattice or basket stitch, this design also harks back to the fisherman's basket, representing good luck and abundance. Meanwhile, the elegant cables are reminiscent of fishermen’s ropes, symbolizing safety and prosperity.
