Hand Knitted Aran Cardigans & Sweaters — Crafted in Ireland

At The Irish Store, our hand knitted Aran cardigans and sweaters represent the finest tradition of Irish craft. Unlike machine-made knitwear, every piece in this collection is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans in the west of Ireland — a process that can take up to 40 hours per garment.

Each hand knitted Aran garment features the traditional stitch patterns that have been passed down through Irish families for generations. The Diamond stitch symbolises wealth and success, the Honeycomb stitch represents the hard-working bee and brings good fortune, and the Cable stitch honours the ropes of the fishing boats that inspired the original Aran sweaters on the wild Atlantic coast.

You can learn more on our Aran sweater history page. Our collection includes hand knitted crew neck sweaters, shawl collar cardigans, zip-front jackets and hooded styles — all crafted from 100% pure merino wool. Browse women's Aran cardigans and men's Aran cardigans.

A hand knitted Aran sweater typically takes between 30 and 40 hours to complete, depending on complexity and size.

How do I care for a hand knitted Aran sweater?

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent or dry clean. Never tumble dry. Lay flat to dry and store folded, not hanging.
