White Aran Cardigan

I finally finished this white aran cardigan.  It is an order, but I just couldn’t find the motivation to get it done.

I do apologise for the photo, I am not very good at taking the time to set it up properly.  Or, I could just say that I am lazy. :)

This is the third time I have knitted this pattern and the second time I have knitted it in white. (not my favourite colour :( )

After casting off at the shoulders on the back, you then knit the 7 rows of rib for the neck band.

The front borders are picked up and knitted and then when you sew it together, you join the back neck and the front borders together.

I quite like doing it this way, rather than doing all the way from one front up and round to the other side.  A lot less stitches this way. :)

The pattern is from the “Sirdar – Arans For Living  (276) pattern book.

This pattern book can still be found in wool shops.

    This is beautifully done; a fine garment. I found it as a was looking for aran cardigan patterns–but I don’t think I can manage one so complicated!

    Hi Sophie, If you can follow a pattern, this isn’t as complicated as it looks. It is just made up of different cables and the pattern tells you how to do each one of them.
