The pattern details may look difficult but, since the sweater is knit in the round with underarm gussets, it is easier than you can imagine. Clear instructions for sizing up or down are also given, so customizing for that special person will be a cinch. Shown in Comfy Cashew.

View More Images Cables, Diamonds, Herringbone by Sabine Domnick Fishermen’s sweaters are a long standing tradition coveted for their textured beauty and patterns. Traditionally worked in the round, with knitted-in sleeves, they require no sewn seams. Being most familiar with traditional Irish Arans, Sabine offers patterns for Scottish and English patterns, traditionally made with finer wool on smaller needles, creating a less bulky sweater that can be either layered or worn alone with jeans. A knit that is sure to be treasured for a lifetime. Item No. 31041 Retail: $19.95 Your Cost: $13.57 Save 32%
