Handknit Aran Hat
Kennedy of Ardara

Traditional handknit Aran hat made from 100% pure new wool. Incorporating the trellis and tree of life stitch* these Donegal Aran hats are durable and warm as a result of the tight knit, characteristic of handknitting.
Trellis stitch: Symbolises the landscape patterns created by fields fenced in with roughly hewn stones that offer protection from strong island winds.
Tree of life stitch: Also known as the Trinity stitch. Promises long life or immortality and a crop of sturdy children. It also represents ancient religious beliefs.
Made from 100% New Irish wool, these hats go great with their matching Aran mittens.
Dimensions: 19 × 25cm
