Cambridge Men's Aran

This classic Aran is the men’s version of the Cambridge pullover, with traditional cable stitches paired with varied stitch patterns. Some cables have been modified from the women’s version for a more masculine look and so they can be worked a bit faster. It has minimal shaping and is worked flat, from the bottom up. The front and back are worked the same to the neckline.  All armhole shaping is done over Moss St.  Cables are worked from charts and cable schematic is included. Set in sleeves are worked by repeating the center chart only with increases worked into Moss St.

Pattern calls for Tubular CO & BO which provide the best look and stretch, but test knitters do not have to use the tubular method. You are fine to use whichever CO & BO you prefer.

Pattern is written with mock turtleneck height, but can be modified by the test knitter to be shorter (crew neck height) or higher (full turtleneck), whatever you like best.
