Aran Pullover Sweater
Lion Brand® Fishermen's Wool®
GAUGE: In Beaded Rib Pat on larger ndls, 18 sts * 24 rows = 4 inches [10 cm];
In Garter St on larger ndls, 15 sts = 4 inches [10 cm]. 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.

| Aran Pullover Sweater Reviewed by Nicol on 2009-09-28 |
 |
| This was an easy pattern to follow, but the overall shape was disappointing. I had to undo and fiddle with several sections to get a decent fit, and even now it's a bit straight and bulky in the shoulders. I did a rolled crew neck because I didn't like the one in the pattern. Also, the project in the small size used only 2.5 skeins of yarn, and not the 4 recommended.
