Ahh... the fisherman sweater! The coziest of cozies! The warmthiest of the warmths! (wat?)
But does underneath all that wooly goodness lie a morbid truth?

There is a legend that Fishermen/Aran Sweaters, with their unique knit patterns, were used in Ireland to identify the bodies of fishermen washed up on shore. Apparently this myth was based on a 1904 play Riders to the Sea, by J. M. Synge (where a wife identifies her husband's body based on the stitching of his sweater). The more you know!
