This casual, round-neck sweater plays on the traditional Aran pattern style. Roaming cables intersect above the twisted asymmetric front rib hem, and a double moss stitch centre panel contrasts with the ‘wandering path’ cable pattern on the back. The sleeves are picked up and worked from the armhole down to the cuff and complement the back.
