What is a fisherman knit sweater?

A fisherman knit sweater, also known as an Aran or Irish fisherman style, is characterized by thick cables, diamonds, and rope patterns symbolizing luck and heritage. Traditionally made from natural wool to repel sea spray, these sweaters originated on Ireland’s Aran Islands. Modern versions use merino or cashmere blends for softness. The rich texture and insulation make fisherman knits ideal for cold-weather fashion and heritage-inspired collections.
