Baby Aran Side-Fastening Hood, $68.99 This lovely baby sweater is knitted in traditional Aran patterns from 100% Merino wool, super-soft and luxurious to the touch.

Traditional Aran Fisherman Sweaters, which take their name from the three Aran Islands of Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer, are handmade made purely from wool in a variety of stitch patterns ...

Knitting enthusiast and needlework shop owner Heinz Edgar Kiewe claimed that such patterns could be traced all the way to Celtic knotwork, suggesting a tradition dating back more than a 1,000 years.

Going off of its theme, the knit construction that makes up the sneaker's upper takes inspiration from traditional Irish Aran sweaters.
