TUCK PATTERN SIMULATES CABLED TEXTURE; Brother card 7p or similar pattern. Look for cards with repetitive vertical patterns like these diamonds. They will not look like true cables but will give a textural impression that is similar and they are very easy to make. Sometimes a card will surprise you.
NOTE: If you don t have the time or inclination to knit a real aran sweater this is a super-quick sweater with a similar look. Back and front are knitted in one long strip with the hems
