What makes this Shamrock Carraig Donn Baby Blanket truly special is its cultural design. Inspired by the authentic Irish sweaters, traditionally worn in the Aran islands since the beginning of the 20th century, our baby blanket is an ode to Ireland’s knitting traditions. The blanket features exquisite Aran cable stitches, commonly knit into Irish fishermen’s knitwear as a wish for safety and good luck at sea. The cable stitch is thought to resemble the ropes used by the brave Aran fishermen and symbolize strength as they had to remain strong in order to return to their families. Besides that, the unique texture of these stitches assured airflow as well as superior insulation against the harsh Atlantic conditions. This luxurious baby throw is knitted using the same technique, keeping your little one warm and cozy without overheating. The addition of shamrocks and sheep adds a pop of color to the overall aesthetic of the blanket, infusing it with another layer of meaning - the shamrock is one of the most popular Irish symbols, believed to have been used by St. Patrick as a metaphor of the Holy Trinity when converting Irish people to Christianity. As for the sheep, it animates the verdant landscapes of Ireland - it is often said that there are more sheep than people on Irish soil. Our baby blanket has generous dimensions of 38 inches in length and 27 inches in width, the ideal size for many purposes - whether you use this piece as a stroller cover, nursing decor, or picnic blanket, you will enjoy its benefits at its fullest.
