Free Knitting Pattern: Knitted Aran Sweater

Lion Brand® Fishermen's Wool®
Pattern #: 1101
The Aran sweater with its richly decorative patterns had its beginnings on three tiny islands off the western coast of Ireland. Today, this style of knitting is prized the world over. In our own version, the 100% Fishermen's Wool shows off the braided cables and textured stitches perfectly.

GAUGE:

Please see the gauge in the downloadable pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Knitted Aran Sweater Reviewed by James Law on 2010-10-25 *****
Ever since I started knitting, I've always wanted an Irish Fisherman's Sweater but never got around to doing one. When I saw this pattern on your site, I just couldn't resist. After testing for gauge I picked my size based on your pattern against an old favorite sweater that I used as a guide and adjusted for final arm length as well as adapting a turtle neck instead of a crew neck. This is the first project I have done for myself in over 10 years and I could not be happier. Even though there is a woman on the pattern, it's a very manly sweater and I get compliments everywhere I go with it on. It's perfect.
