Easy Aran Adult Pullover
This unisex Easy Aran Adult Pullover is a fun and enjoyable sweater to knit.
It looks complicated, but the instructions are clearly written, and easy to follow.
Pattern includes several tips and suggestions for improved knitting and finishing of your sweater.
Front and back of sweater are knit separately, and seamed at the shoulders.
Sleeve stitches are picked up at the shoulder edge, and drop shoulder style sleeves are knit down to the cuff - making it easy to adjust the sleeve length, if necessary.
Pattern includes 4 sizes - 34”, 38”, 42” and 46” finished chest measurements. Measurements are approximate, after blocking.
Fabric is quite stretchy, and will fit a variety of sizes.
You can easily adapt each size, by making the body and/or sleeves longer or shorter as desired.
Required skills include casting on, knitting, purling, basic cable knitting, increasing (m1) and decreasing (K2tog and SSK), binding off and basic seaming - making it appropriate for an advanced beginner / intermediate knitter.
Required yarn: approximately 1200 - 1750 yds worsted weight yarn.
Recommended needles: size 5 (for ribbing); size 7 (for body); 16” circular size 5 (for the neckband).
Note: Garment is knit flat in pieces, so you may choose to use straight or circular needles for the body and sleeves - whichever you prefer.
Stitches for neckband are picked up and worked in the round, requiring a 16” circular needle in the smaller size.
Recommended gauge is 18 sts = 4” in stockinette stitch and double moss stitch, using larger needles.
Change needle size as necessary, to achieve correct gauge!
Other tools required include stitch markers, row counter, cable needle, and tapestry needle.
Enjoy knitting and wearing this beautiful unisex pullover.
