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 Celia Obrecht on 2008-04-07 |
 |
The instructions for the ornamental stitches really worked for a barely intermediate knitter. Unfortunately beaded ribbing on the sides, back and sleeves streched sideways to quite a degree when the sweater was first washed so that it became a wider size.
