The XC sweater was inspired by Norwegian après ski looks. Whether X-Country, Alpine or just looking good in the chalet, prepare to have people admire you wearing it.

Chart for Fair Isle. Cables are written out.

Aran weight 10 ply (8 wpi) 50 gram (1.76 oz) hanks approx 123 yds (112 m)

Note: The yarn I used is discontinued but still available at some online stores and lys. I tend to think Lush is a cross between aran and worsted: to be used either way. The important thing here is to get the right gauge. DO that swatch!

MC: (#4407 Thistle) 12 hanks, A: (#4474 Keys Green) 1 hank, B: (#4416 Natural) 1 hank.
