Description A modern version of an aran cabled pullover for men. A slim fit, shoulder shaping, and shawl collar highlight strong aspects of the man’s frame.

Construction Worked flat, from bottom-up. Shoulder shaping is worked with short rows. Set-in Sleeves.

Fit Modeled: 38”/96.5cm Actual Chest, with 2.5”/6cm positive ease; Finished Chest: 40.5”/103cm

Pattern Language: English. Charts for cables are included in the pattern document; written instructions for cables are available in a separate document. Both the chart and the written instructions may be used if working in-the-round, instead of flat, is preferred. A Small Swatch with Cables is provided for gauge.
