January Aran Sweater Pattern
by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Directions for this project inKnitter's Almanac, shown below. A classic aran cardigan knit in Elizabeth Zimmermann's traditional style. The pattern is written as a pullover, but, in her characteristic form of knowledge sharing, she has included a conceptual description for converting to a cardigan. This is why we recommend this pattern for advanced knitters who enjoy the creative license that a some ambiguity in a pattern allows! Basic garter stitch edgings allow the intricate "Fishtrap" pattern to shine. Shown in Wool of the Andes Dove Heather.
