Irish Knitting

by Rohana Darlington

Published 23 May 1991
The author has investigated the development of textiles in Ireland and the result of her research is this collection of 24 hand-knitted designs, each inspired by a part of Ireland's history and culture. The designs include garments for men, women and children and even a bedspread created from a 19th century pattern. They range from easy knit to the more challenging. Each design has a short historical introduction, comprehensive knitting instructions, colour photographs of the garment, colour chart and the inspirational source behind the garment.
