From ‘Knitting Today’s Classics’: “The Aran pullovers are edged with trinity stitch and worked in a variety of cable stitches. For added versatility, there are two neckline variations – a ribbed shawl collar and a crew-neck with trinity stitch.”

The Man’s Shawl collar version is an unfitted, straight pullover, heavily patterned with 6 different cable designs and a trinity stitch body and cuff ribbing. The sleeves are simple dropped shoulder in design, using 3 of the cable patterns and increases are worked into a trinity stitch at the sides.

The pattern begins on page 99.

Also available in a Woman’s crewneck version
