"I made this for My mum"

Mum wanted a long aran cabled cardigan with pockets so searched the pattern library on loveknitting and came up with this pattern. Lovely easy to follow cable pattern and I used a soft grey Aran wool which I bought in Aldi an 80 / 20 acrylic wool mix soft and knitted up well.

Hi your cardigan looks amazing. I know it’s a while since you made this but was wondering if you could give me some advice on the sleeves. I am making the 5th size and it tells me to increase on row 3 and following 6th But the block and cable pattern says to increase on other rows in the patt. Do you do both lots of increasing Thanking you in advance

Oh Penny, this is gorgeous. My mum used to sit knitting these intricate Aran patterns from memory, no print outs, whilst watching TV. I have always loved the Aran and Guernsey sweaters too. Sadly, I'm not able to knit large projects due to severe rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. I'm sure your mum must have loved her cardigan!

Love this! Nice and long and loose enough to wear over other things. Excellent work. It’s years since I knitted an Aran design, but you have inspired me.
