A somewhat traditional Aran
sweater makes the stitch patterns work in unusual ways as the cables subtly
emerge between areas of basketweave stitch. Ian from Jen Hagan Design is a
seamless, bottom-up garment sports a pullover style with an attached hood, which
carries the pattern as well. Drop saddle shoulder continues one of the cable
motifs from the hood out the full length of the sleeve. The cable patterns
are charted and written out.
