Knitting arans: a selection of patterns, tips on choosing a pattern and knitting patterns (105 photos)

History of the origin of the style

In cold Ireland and Scotland, where poor fishermen live, clothing was created by hand by women. The severity of the terrain and climate left a significant imprint on the formation of the style. It was here that a sweater was first created, which was called a fisherman's sweater.

According to ancient chronicles, the pattern was created on clothing in the form of a secret painting that could only be deciphered by members of one clan.

Fishing is a dangerous profession, especially in the old days. Many people who went to sea did not return, and the bodies washed ashore could only be identified by their clothes.

To arrange a worthy farewell, women knitters came up with special ornaments. Most symbols are passed down from generation to generation purely narratively. No manuscripts were found.

Unusual aran in the form of a twig with leaves

Aran in the form of a branch with leaves looks expressive in any product where large patterns are appropriate. A purl stitch is knitted on the sides of the pattern itself.

How to knit the pattern - video with diagram:

For the sample, 100 g of yarn was used. 240 meters; knitting needles 2.5 mm.

Knitting pattern in rotary rows:

Pattern repeat: 28 loops; 16 rows.

All even rows are knitted according to the pattern, taking into account crossed stitches. It is easier to knit with a purl loop - “grandmother’s”.

The pattern is repeated from the 1st to the 16th row.

Creating simple patterns

The aran knitting pattern is not complicated if you use some common elements:

Scythe. To create a weave, knit and purl rows are used. Odd numbers are counted from the right side, even numbers from the left. The standard braid width is 12 loops. Repeat after row 8.

Patterned braid. It is created by the same analogy as the previous version. The standard width is 9 loops, and the repetition is carried out after the sixth row.

Celtic rhombus. Knitting a sweater with arans of this form is more difficult than the previous ones. The width of the pattern is 36 loops. Repeat after 38 rows. When finished, the ornament looks very beautiful.

Description of work.

You can knit a hat not only on circular knitting needles, but also on stockinette knitting needles. Here everyone uses their own alternative, more convenient option. The pattern repeat is 32 rows high and 20 stitches wide. In one row the pattern repeat will be repeated 6 times.

So, we knit this model of a hat, it is the only one of its kind, the author’s, as a gift to you, this master class is published for the first time on the page of the “Irena Handmade” website! We calculate the number of loops for the hat. For me it is 96 loops plus 1 for closing in a circle.

1 cm - 2 loops;

OG=57 cm;

57×2=114 loops;

Subtract 15% necessary to account for the stretching of the headgear.

114-15% = 96 loops.

I perform the set in the usual way, it is important that when joining in a circle, the set row does not twist.

Be sure to mark the beginning of the row with a marker.

To get a similar cast-on edge of the product, we knit four rows according to pattern No. 1, hollow elastic (rows 1-4 of the pattern).

1-4 row. Scheme No. 1 hollow elastic band.

In the 5th row we make the transition to a 2x2 elastic band according to the fifth row of the same pattern.

5 row. Scheme No. 1 hollow elastic band.
6-18 row. Pattern No. 2 elastic band 2×2 (13 rows).

Height is 6 cm.

We place markers. We recalculate the stitches for the additions necessary to work with the aran pattern. Repeat the pattern in width 6 times. To knit the lapel we cast on 96 stitches.

96:6=16 loops in rapport.

In pattern No. 4 of the main pattern, the repeat is equal to 20 loops. Therefore, in each it is necessary to add 4 loops according to the pattern No. 3 of the increase when moving to the main pattern (second row of the pattern).

Row 19 Scheme No. 3. Additions when switching to the main pattern.

There are 120 loops in the work. Next, we knit in height with the main “Blueberry” pattern according to pattern No. 4 (row 1-32 of the pattern).

20-51 row. Pattern No. 4. Aran pattern “Blueberry” (32 rows).

The height of the product including the elastic is 18 cm.

We begin to work with the crown of the product according to scheme No. 5 of decreasing at the crown of the hat.

52-75 row. Decrease pattern No. 5 at the top of the hat (24 rows).

There will be 4 loops left in each repeat. Total 24.

Cut the thread, use a hook or needle to pull it through the remaining loops, pull them together and fasten them well.

Important:

leave the thread for fastening as long as possible;
Pull it through the remaining loops twice.

The total height of this cap is 26 cm.

Then I made the pom pom.

To do this, I used a mold with a diameter of 9 cm of a special device Gamma PM-4. A detailed master class on this topic is available on the Irena Handmade website. It’s called “How to make a pompom from threads.”

After familiarizing yourself with it, you can easily make the same pompom, and maybe even better!

Openwork patterns

Unlike knitting arans on a bias, the openwork version is much more difficult to perform. However, such patterns add a truly fabulous style to sweaters and scarves.

Experienced knitters prefer openwork weaves, as they are more interesting to perform.

The most popular options are:

openwork braids;
openwork diamonds;
eastern braids.

It is possible to make such a drawing qualitatively only according to the diagram.

Making a Sweater

Arana braid knitting is often used to create men's and women's sweaters, pullovers, and vests. For many years, these patterns have encouraged needlewomen to create similar products for their families.

An unusual weave on a jumper lifts your spirits in bad weather and surprises passers-by. Sweaters like these never go out of style. Therefore, learning how to make such clothes yourself is necessary if knitting is your passion.

Irish knitting is considered one of the most beautiful solutions. The sketch for the pattern describes the creation of a repeat consisting of 24 loops and 2 edge loops.

Purl rows must be performed strictly according to the sketch. The repeat is repeated after every 16 rows.

Autumn braids created on sweaters can not only brighten up the dull rainy weather for the people around them, but also for the owner himself. Videos of aran knitting in this style are replete with almost every handicraft website. The pattern repeat is 22 loops wide and repeated after 40 rows. Without a correctly drawn up sketch, it is problematic to complete the work.

You can improve your New Year's mood with hand-knitted jumpers for the whole family. For this occasion, a modern pattern is used that resembles a herringbone. To complete this style of knitting, it is recommended to get an exact pattern.

General Tips

Not a single aran pattern can be made without basic knitting skills. At the same time, it is worth knowing how to choose yarn for clothing and what type of knitting needles to choose.

Professionals say that high-quality material must have thin, long and elastic fiber. Its surface should be silky to the touch.

It is recommended to buy yarn in balls or skeins. The product label must contain information about the purpose of the product - hand or machine knitting. In this case, only the first yarn option is suitable for creating arans.

Knitting needles are made from a variety of materials - wood, metal, plastic. There are two product options - with open and closed ends. The first products can be used on both sides. And the second has only one working end. A perfectly smooth surface is considered a prerequisite for quality knitting needles.
