  Knitting pattern: Aran beanie hat and cowl set. ‘Giorraíonn beirt bóthar’ is an old Irish proverb which means ‘Two shorten the road’. The Beirt (pronounced Bert) Beanie Set features two side-by-side little cables which illustrate this proverb perfectly! The zig-zag stitch pattern, which is commonly seen in Aran knitting, often symbolises two people travelling together along life’s winding paths. As a knitter from the Aran Islands, I love adapting the Aran style to suit modern knitters. Here, I have taken a classic Aran style cable pattern and adapted the motif to work it in the round, on two sizes of circular needle.
  The hat is sized for an adult, and comes in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large. The Small size would equate to a traditional women's size, and the Large would equate to a traditional men's size. The pattern is easy to adjust in size, as the cabling pattern works on an 8 stitch repeat - you can cast on 8 less for a child-sized hat, or 16 less for a baby-sized hat.
  The pattern is writted for Aran, or heavy worsted, yarns. The knitting needles required are 4.5mm/US7 and 5mm/US8 circular needles, but here is some leeway given that Aran yarns can vary a little in thickness. I would suggest being guided by the needle size recommended for the yarn you are using. Regarding yarn, I would suggest a requirement of 120m/130yds) for the smallest size, knit without the matching cowl.
  The cabling pattern is not overly complicated; working a 8 stitch repeat - I would consider this a pattern suitable for improving and intermediate knitters. Written AND charted instructions are included.
  Notions (or knitting tools) required are a cable needle, stitch marker (to mark the start of each round) and a tapestry (or knitter's) sewing needle (for weaving in the yarn ends). The finished hat is seamless, so minimal finishing is required!
  The pattern has been test knitted, and the test knitters found that it was quick to work up - a bonus for any gift knitter!
  I also have a version of this hat suitable for lighter weight DK yarn, which has different crown decreases. That pattern is over here: https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/1102083501/knitting-pattern-pdf-beanie-hat-and-cowl?click_key=9f461578892ba84e2a09e17637cf03f75419eae9%3A1102083501&click_sum=02192351&ref=shop_home_active_21

  Frequently Asked Questions
  Gift wrapping and packaging
  All my items are wrapped in crepe paper for free; if you would like sturdy wrapping for a festive occasion; please choose the gift wrapping option when ordering and let me know any special requirements (e.g. Christmas gift/birthday gift).
  Care instructions
  All of my knitted accessories (except items which have stuffing, like charms or baubles) can be machine-washed on a gentle wool wash at 30 degrees, or hand washed if you prefer. Certain items, such as cafetieres and tea-cosies, have been knitted in a more hard-wearing wool/acrylic mix: these can be washed in a regular machine wash at 40 degrees.
  How long will it take you to post my item?
  I aim to post your item on the following business day.
  Can you send my purchase direct to the gift recipient?
  Absolutely! Just let me know the address of your gift recipient, and I will happily post it there directly, with a handwritten card containing the message of your choice.
  What if my order doesn't arrive?
  I would recommend paying a little extra for registered post (which includes tracking) if this is a concern. If your (international) order has not arrived 30 days after shipping, please get in touch.
  Is your business eco-friendly?
  - I believe that wool is one of the most environmentally-friendly fibres in the world; being renewable and biodegradable. Most of my knits are made using natural fibres; with the exception of knits which need to be machine-washable (such as tea cosies).
  - I take care to wrap your order in biodegradable materials (crepe paper and wool tie). Shipping bags are not always biodegradable; but this option is used when available. Shipping bags are recyclable in most countries.
  - A packing slip is not included, to save on paper waste, and duplicating information already available online.
