This pattern was featured in the January 2013 issue of Inside Crochet.

Materials: Aran Tweed Knitting Wool from Kilcar in Donegal, Ireland. 200g skeins (Length = 320 m / 350 yards) Lilac-4812. The Poncho uses 8 skeins. The Hat uses 1 skein and the Mittens use 1 skein.
You can buy online from COMMODUM art and design They also sell on eBay, just search for “Donegal yarn”.
It is aran weight and 100% wool. It may seem a bit expensive, the conversion rate makes it about £10 (GBP) for 200g. But when you consider that the Sirdar Click cost me £3.25 for 50g, it is actually a very reasonable price. It is lovely to work with and gorgeous to wear. If you don’t want to get this yarn, any aran weight will be suitable.

Equipment: 4.50mm hook, needle for sewing in ends.

Tension (UK terms): Work 14sts and 12 rows in pattern or htr 10x10cm or 4x4in using 4.50mm hook, or size required to obtain tension.
