Rake aboot 4,929 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Aye Mrs Rake is an avid knitter and is looking for a pattern. It`s an Aran pattern and is the one that Steve McQueen wore. Very hard to track down, so get asking yer Missus if she`s a knitter. Pattern in question. http://www.theirishstore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/mcqueen-aran.jpg https://irishclothes.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/61c55-mcqaran.jpeg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gin 496 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 That could be a one off pattern, done for him. I had two made for me, and it was not easy to get original patterns,- I don't suppose she knits original gansey's ?. They are like hens teeth to get original local gansey's.

Gin 496 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yes i know of that one, but you will notice variants, on original patterns. It was original Seaton Sluice, or Cullercoats i was looking for. I have seen variants, but are far from the original patterns. Thanks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
