Easy Aran Adult Pullover
Pattern Details
The Easy Aran Adult Pullover is a unisex worsted weight sweater that may look complicated, but is quite easy to knit, and looks great on everyone. Instructions are clearly written, and there is minimal shaping required. Pattern is appropriate for an advanced beginner/intermediate knitter, who has some experience with textured stitches and cables.
Construction Details
Sweater back and front are knit separately, and seamed at the shoulders.
Sleeve stitches are picked up along the the armhole edge, and knit down to the cuff.
Fabric has a lot of stretch, and will fit a variety of sizes. You can easily adapt each size by making the body and/or sleeves longer or shorter, as desired.
The sweater is knit flat in pieces, so you may choose to use straight or circular needles for the body and sleeves - whichever you prefer. Stitches for the neckband are picked up and worked in the round, requiring a short (16”) circular needle in the smaller size.
