Before finishing Rob’s green sweater I started a cream coloured one for him using Aran thickness wool. It is not an Aran sweater but is one I designed several years ago which uses different cable stitches. This is the back of the garment.
There are three different cable stitches used, with panels of single moss stitch between. The central panel uses double plaited cable which is worked over 18 stitches.
The two smaller panels of cable to either side are single plaited cable worked over 6 stitches.
The cable nearest to the side seam of the sweater is link cable and worked over 12 stitches.
It is one of my favourite designs to work although it needs concentration while working the pattern.
