THIS TIMELESS, Aran-inspired design by Pat Menchini combines diamond cables, a trellis pattern and Trinity Stitch to produce a highly textured and appealing fabric. The body is knitted flat from the bottom up, while the sleeves are worked top-down. For her sweater, Pat has used Sheepsoft Aran, a pure British wool which is available in five undyed fleece shades.
