Stunning Aran Cable Cardigan Knitting Pattern
This beautifully crafted Aran cable cardigan is expertly knitted in one continuous piece, featuring innovative seams that enhance its unique shape. Designed with a cozy double moss stitch as the foundation, a magnificent large interlocking cable pattern twists gracefully up both front panels and across the shoulders, creating a distinctly elegant edge-to-edge cardigan. It's a versatile piece that can be worn on its own for a casual look or cinched at the waist with your favorite leather belt for a more polished appearance. - Jo Storie
