      "It is sometimes said that each islander (or his family) had a jumper with a unique design, so that if he drowned and was found, maybe weeks later, on the beach, his body could be identified. This misconception may have originated with John Millington Synge's 1904 play..."

      I suspect this myth was also boosted by this book (originally from 1955) where different stitch patterns are broken down by region. Author may have seen some trends in patterns... (1/2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DLYULF6/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

      But more because people learned from their family/neighbors and less that there was some organized language of stitch pattern by port town (2/2)

      Granted you MIGHT be able to identify a distinctive sweater, but it wasn’t intentional - Whitby was not out here patenting their regional designs ;)

      Also, Aran designs as we know them (extremely chunky, complex, multi-part cables) didn’t really exist until the turn of the 20th century. Before that you had guernseys or jerseys which could be cabled, but many of which were plain, striped, or even spotted.
