Portree Aran Sweater
Discover the timeless elegance of classic Aran stitchery with this beautifully crafted sweater pattern. The eye-catching centre trellis pattern is beautifully framed by a unique rope-effect cable, making a stunning visual impact. The yoke features a horizontal reverse stocking stitch border at its base, which provides a clear definition and enhances the appearance of the intricate yoke pattern that emerges above. This sweater is worked from the bottom up and comes with comprehensive written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels.
If you’re considering substituting the recommended yarn, you may want to explore options for chunky weight yarn. The suggested yarn for this pattern is quite thick, so always ensure to check your tension before you begin your knitting adventure to get the perfect fit.
