“I find Aran and cabled knitt­ing one of the most mag­i­cal things to create. It’s wonderful to be able to form such stunning textures using just that small extra needle to help the stitches travel across your work. Aran is the one type of knitting bound to invoke awe in knitters and nonknitters alike.” — Sarah Hatton

Hatton’s feminine shawl-collared cardigan is sur­prisingly lightweight in mauve “Wool Cotton” from Rowan/Westminster Fibers. It features a variety of cabled panels on the fronts, back and cap sleeves.
