Knit on #5 needles, this is a hard-to-find Aran cardigan as it is knit with sport weight yarns, a lighter weight than that used for most Arans. Galway is the result of customer requests from the early years in my yarn shop! The smaller needles paired with the Aran patterns and the buttonhole work in the Banjo Cable front bands demand attention to detail and the expertise of an advanced knitter.
Aran patterns show to best advantage, with great stitch definition and clarity, knit in smooth worsted-spun yarns.
Sizes 34 through 44.
