Cridhe Irish Heartbeat Child's Pullover

Steeped in the history of the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, this charming children’s pullover draws on tradition while being knit of the softest fair-trade Merino / bamboo blend.

Clever Buttonhole Chains provide the closures for this pullover which sports a full width neck opening for easy dressing.

This design was the first of the ‘Celtic Child’ patterns from Impeccable Knits; the cables used in the Cridhe Irish Heartbeat Baby Blanket and the Cridhe Irish Heartbeat Hat patterns match this pullover pattern
