Portree Aran Sweater

An array of classic Aran stitchery adorn this lovely sweater. The centre trellis pattern has an interesting rope effect cable to frame it. The yoke is outlined at the base by a horizontal reverse stocking stitch border, giving clear definition as the yoke pattern emerges above. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions. If you choose to substitute this particular yarn, it may be possible to consider a chunky weight yarn, as the suggested yarn is quite thick. But always check your tension first before starting.
