Dusseldorf Aran Knitting Pattern Download

Description

The Dusseldorf Aran adds dressmaker touches to a modern Aran sweater. Fiona Ellis moves and crosses strands from three separate rope cables to create an intricately knotted effect: The strands of the center rope split and twine around traveling interior strands from the outer cables in orderly succession. I-cord. adorned pleating at the cuffs creates the impression of cable strands spilling beyond the fabric’s edges.
