Aran Delight

If you're a fan of Aran knitting, this stunning new design is sure to inspire your needles. It features a rich blend of half-diamond panels, interesting "plaited" cables, and textured blackberry stitch. Easy twist-stitch verticals are incorporated between the various panels. The ribbed edgings, including the neckband, are in twisted single rib which looks really neat on this design. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
