Taking design cues from classic Aran sweaters, Pat Menchini has created this timeless sweater. The patterned panels include diamond cables, ropes and bobbles, which will keep you entertained as you knit. The garment has drop shoulders, and the sleeves are knitted top-down. Pat’s project uses Cascade’s classic 220 aran-weight yarn, a pure wool which comes in an enormous range of colours.

Available as a single digital download from the designer, or as an ebook from the magazine.
