Pattern Spotlight: Liam Scarf

Liam 4

Published in January of 2016 the Liam Scarf is an Aran scarf featuring many of my favorite textured stitch patterns and a cable from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. In traditional fishermen’s garments each stitch is thought to represent a part of life. For example cables to represent a fisherman’s ropes, a half diamond for twisting cliff paths, moss stitch for seaweed and so on.
