Cara means friend in Irish, and the Cara sweater can truly be a loyal friend. It is worked top-down in 100% wool and is almost impossible to wear out. In addition, it gets softer each time you wear it. The patterns are traditional Irish Aran patterns that give the sweater a dense fabric. The sweater retains a good fit as the side panels and the underside of the sleeves lack the cable pattern.
