New to knitting? Not sure what Aran Knitting is?

The Aran pullover is a style of jumper that takes its name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Yes, they own claim to Aran as much as Champagne the town, own Champagne the drink. A traditional Aran Jumper or pullover as it is called is usually is off-white in colour, with cable patterns on the body and sleeves. Of course, today’s Aran designs are multicoloured and extend into beanies and accessories. Looking for more Aran Knitting patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

i odered th Delaney sweater pattern cost me $38.00 , i cannot make head no tailjout of it it was full of type os , and it was aback and forth to different pages , i always thought that a pattern was there to simplify making a sweater but not this they explained the stitch pattern and then you are on your own even experienced knitters that i showed it to said dont buy anymore from these people. i wrote to them and told them how dissappointed i was and i never heard anything from them. go to an experienced knitter they are in knitting stores and ask them if they can write a Delaney clan sweater pttern for you. it will also be much cheaper

I’m not finding much out there that’s available for free. This is cute, but only sized for babies: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTtrellis.html This has a few more sizes, but is still for the two and under crowd: http://knitting.about.com/od/patternsforbabies/ss/baby-aran-vest.htm I’m not finding anything really for older kids, but you didn’t say what size you need. If you’re willing to give them a go, there are some vintage knitting patterns that look good here: http://www.knitting-crochet.com/chik.html particularly the child’s fisherman knit. Good luck!

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
