An Old Fashioned Aran

27/5/2015

I love knitting for my grandchildren. I recently completed this delightful high button cardigan with some lovely Aran work. It is a Patons pattern from their White Mischief book 1050. This book has some lovely designs in 3,4,5 and 8 ply yarns.

The design I chose was no. 6 and I used Bluebell 5 ply yarn and was pleased with the result. This was done for my 16 month old grandson and I used the size B for 12 months. It fits him beautifully now.

N.B. Just a note for anyone trying this pattern as there is an error I discovered. The design is worked over 16 rows not 18 as stated in the book and the 17th and 18th rows should be ignored as they are completely redundant.
