Pattern 4205 - Special Aran

Duffle Jackets and Sweater

Three great Aran knits for those cooler days. We have a sweater and two jackets. One of the cardigans has a neat little collar and the other has a hood, everyone's favourite and so useful. Pockets on the two cardigans give that added detail.

Special Aran

Stylecraft's Special yarns are class leaders, arguably the best 100% premium acrylic yarn on the market with a huge number of colours to choose from. This yarn has a super soft handle, is naturally anti pilling and tough enough to handle being thrown in the washing machine. The Special range includes 4-ply, DK, Aran, Chunky, XL and Baby qualities in a fabulous range of colours to meet every knitter (and crocheters) needs.
