Aran stitches were designed for a sweater, which is a garment about a metre long. Scaled onto a dress they have half again as much room, and the pattern changes because of it - the diamonds stack further down the body, and the eye follows them the whole way rather than stopping at a hem.

The arrangement is traditional: a column of stacked diamonds down the centre, twisted rope cables either side of it, and a moss stitch ground filling the sleeves and the panels beyond. A plain ribbed crew neck sits above it all, and a deep ribbed band closes the hem above the knee.

It is a great deal of knitting for something this short, and it is warmer than most coats.
