Women’s Herringbone Hooded Shawl Collar Cardigan in Merino Wool

Women's Herringbone Hooded Shawl Collar Cardigan in Merino Wool

This women's herringbone hooded shawl collar cardigan is made in Ireland from 100% Merino wool and combines traditional Irish knitwear with a relaxed edge-to-edge silhouette.

The HD4872 features distinctive herringbone stitchwork, a generous shawl collar and an integrated hood. Side slits provide additional ease of movement, while practical insert pockets make this a comfortable and versatile cardigan for everyday wear.

Traditional Herringbone Stitching

The cardigan features a distinctive herringbone knit pattern, creating strong texture and definition throughout the garment.

The repeated stitch structure gives the HD4872 a traditional knitted character while providing a slightly different appearance from the cable, diamond and honeycomb patterns found on many classic Aran garments.

Its textured surface complements the relaxed shape of the cardigan and allows the Merino wool construction to remain a prominent part of the design.

Shawl Collar and Integrated Hood

One of the defining features of the HD4872 is its combination of a shawl collar and integrated hood.

The broad shawl collar creates a soft, comfortable shape around the neckline and flows naturally into the hood. This provides additional coverage around the shoulders, neck and head while giving the cardigan its distinctive silhouette.

The design makes it particularly suitable for cooler weather while retaining the flexibility of a knitted cardigan.

Relaxed Edge-to-Edge Design

The HD4872 has an edge-to-edge front, creating a relaxed open-front style without a conventional button or zip fastening.

This allows the cardigan to drape naturally over the body and makes it particularly easy to layer over tops, blouses and lighter knitwear.

The open-front construction also allows the shawl collar and herringbone stitchwork to remain central features of the design.

Side Slits for Comfortable Movement

The cardigan features side slits, helping the longer knitted fabric move naturally with the wearer.

These openings provide additional freedom around the lower part of the garment and contribute to the comfortable, relaxed silhouette.

They also make the cardigan easier to wear when sitting or layering over other clothing.

Practical Insert Pockets

Discreet insert pockets provide useful everyday storage without interrupting the textured appearance of the cardigan.

Their integrated design helps maintain the clean flowing lines of the garment while adding practical functionality.

Crafted from 100% Merino Wool

The HD4872 is made from 100% Merino wool, providing the warmth, softness and texture associated with quality wool knitwear.

Merino wool allows the herringbone stitch pattern to remain clearly defined while creating a comfortable knitted layer suitable for regular wear.

The combination of Merino wool, shawl collar and hood makes the cardigan particularly well suited to autumn, winter and cooler spring days.

Made in Ireland

The HD4872 is an Aran Crafts cardigan manufactured in Ireland by West End Knitwear.

Its combination of Irish manufacture, 100% Merino wool, traditional herringbone stitching and relaxed hooded styling creates a versatile garment with a distinctive Irish knitwear character.
