For more than a century, knitters on Ireland's rugged Aran islands have been developing the intricate stitches for which their sweaters are known. This belted cardigan mixes today's style with time-honored handcrafted technique in a cable and trellis pattern.
The craftsmanship is wonderful. However, the wool is very scratchy/itchy. I gifted it to my fiancée, she is unable to wear it. So sad because it is beautiful

I am elated that I purchased this wonderful belted cardigan sweater/jacket. When it was SO cold in our apartment building and low temperatures outdoors, I knew that I needed to buy a WOOL sweater. I had been layering the clothes that I was wearing and still felt cold. Truly, I hated to spend the money; however, with all the flu running rampant, I knew I couldn't risk my health. I purchased the sweater in the neutral beige and love it. The warmth it affords is outstanding; and the knitted stitches are lovely. Treat yourself to this lovely sweater.

Beautiful sweater jacket, but the belt is not nearly as long as shown in the photo, which makes it look cheap. Very disappointed for the price point.

This is a beautifully knit sweater. The belt loops are at least 1 1/2" too high even for my average height of 5' 6". Unfortunately I tried to cut them off only to discover they are knit as part of the sweater body-- not sewn on separately. It created a Hole which I had to very carefully hand sew closed. Other than that I love the sweater. A great weight for a cool day instead of wearing a coat.
