You are right about Scotland it originated on the isle of Aran as far as I know.
Here is a pic for you.

My Aunt used to make them, they can be very complicated to make but are very warm.

Think cricket jumpers with the cable pattern.

Hello & to the forum! I love Aran Cardigans & jumpers... My friends mom knitted me one once when I was about 14 and I loved it, so warm & comfy! (wow my memories good lol)

Hello there.

Back in the 60s Mum and I knitted an Aran dress (for me) - she finished the front and back in the time it took me to knit the sleeves!!

I think it's still about somewhere - I could make a goodly felted bag or two from it (it did felt itself in the armpits).
