A warm & rugged Aran Sweater for men (or women!)
I designed this sweater for my friend, whose mum used to knit him sweaters as he was growing up, then rip them out and re-knit in a larger size as he grew. This sweater is going to serve more as a coat to be worn over other layers as he visits construction job sites.
Please note: All of the cable patterns repeat in a different number of rows, 4, 8, and 12. Please follow each section of the chart independently to maintain the overall pattern - Cheryl
