Designed to be worked in both Hayfield Bonus Aran Tweed and Bonus Aran, this oversized pullover has a cabled panel knit sideways to give the look of a long braid. The Irish moss stitch adds a rich texture.


TENSION

  • Cable panel (26 sts) measures 12cm, (4¾in) AND
  • 18 sts and 24 rows to 10cm, (4in) over Irish moss stitch on 5mm needles or the size required to give correct tension.
    Check your tension - if less stitches use a thinner needle, if more use a thicker needle.
