Women’s Merino Wool Traditional Aran Button Cardigan

Women's Merino Wool Traditional Aran Button Cardigan

This women's Merino wool traditional Aran button cardigan is made in Ireland from 100% Merino wool and combines classic Irish stitchwork with a timeless button-front design.

The XP311 features traditional honeycomb and cable patterns, a crew neckline and a full row of buttons down the front. Ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, pockets and hem adds definition, while two practical patch pockets complete this versatile Irish cardigan.

Traditional Honeycomb and Cable Stitches

The XP311 combines honeycomb and cable Aran stitch patterns across the garment.

The honeycomb stitch creates a richly textured central design, while traditional cable stitching runs alongside it to add further depth and structure.

These classic patterns give the cardigan the distinctive appearance associated with traditional Irish Aran knitwear.

Classic Crew Neckline

The cardigan features a crew neckline, creating a simple and timeless shape.

Its rounded neckline makes the XP311 easy to wear over a blouse, shirt or lightweight top while allowing the traditional knitted texture to remain the principal feature of the garment.

The neckline is finished with ribbed trim for additional definition.

Traditional Button Front

A full button fastening runs down the front of the cardigan.

This classic construction allows the garment to be worn closed as a warm knitted layer or open over other clothing for a more relaxed look.

The button-front design complements the traditional Aran stitchwork and gives the XP311 a timeless appearance suitable for everyday wear.

Practical Patch Pockets

Two patch pockets are positioned at the front of the cardigan.

The pockets provide useful everyday storage while becoming part of the visible knitted design rather than being concealed within the garment.

Ribbed trim around the pockets ties them visually to the neckline, cuffs and hem.

Ribbed Finishing Details

The neckline, cuffs, pockets and hem are finished with ribbed trim.

This gives the edges of the cardigan additional definition and helps frame the more intricate honeycomb and cable stitch patterns.

The combination of textured Aran stitching and clean ribbed finishing creates a balanced traditional design.

Crafted from 100% Merino Wool

The XP311 is made from 100% Merino wool, providing the warmth, softness and texture associated with quality Irish knitwear.

Merino wool allows the honeycomb and cable stitch patterns to remain clearly defined while creating a comfortable knitted layer suitable for regular wear.

Made in Ireland

The XP311 is an Aran Crafts cardigan manufactured in Ireland by West End Knitwear.

Its combination of Irish manufacture, 100% Merino wool, traditional stitch patterns and classic button-front styling makes it a timeless piece of Irish knitwear.
