Knitting an heirloom sweater takes time, but when knitted with natural fibers, can last decades. It's something to truly be proud of and a classic like thisnever goes out of style. This traditional Aran sweater is made with 100% natural wool and features a combination of cable patterns. Twisted stitches are incorporated in to a rib cable. A large diamond cable pattern centers the garments. Moss Stitch is used on the sides so armhole shaping doesn’t cut into cabling. Cabled collar adds to the neckline and bobbles accentuate the hem and cuffs. Garment is worked flat from the bottom up and is charted.
