Knit Today

Knit him something that’s cosy enough to wear when relaxing, and smart enough to add a layer of warmth at formal occasions. This practical cardigan is a project for experienced knitters, worked in a cable pattern, along with standard knit and purl stitches. It’s knitted in Artesano Aran, which is well suited to men’s garments – the 50% wool content keeps the yarn light so that larger items, like this cardigan, keep their shape. This particular photo shows the cardigan worked in the Ash shade. Use 12-14 hanks of the yarn, along with 3.75mm and 5mm needles and cable needles, to knit the cardigan for chest sizes 86-107cm or 34-44in.
