Pattern description from Knitting Workshop: “The HAND-TO-HAND ARAN I ‘unvented’. It is pleasant to knit; you work on the cabled sleeves-cum-yoke when you are full of prance, and the plain body when you are at a meeting. Use ANY cables or patterns that please you. THE SLEEVES, of course, are worked on a 16 inch circular needle, but for the yoke you must divide and work back-and-forth; necessary to the design construction.”
