Aran Cotton Cable Cardigan — buttoned, set-in sleeves

A longline, textured cardigan in aran-weight cotton with bold cables and neat bobble-style texture, front button band and ribbed neckband; sized to fit 76–81, 86–91, 97–102 cm bust.

What you’ll make: A straight-bodied cardigan with set-in sleeves, front button bands with five buttonholes, and a ribbed neckband; overall length approx. 63–65 cm depending on size.

Yarn: Aran-weight cotton (approx. 18–20 × 50 g balls across sizes; swatch to confirm).

Needles & notions: 4 mm and 5 mm needles; cable needle; 6 buttons; markers; stitch holder.

Tension (gauge): 18 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm in stocking stitch on 5 mm needles.

Yarn Suggestions: Rowan Handknit Cotton (aran), King Cole Cottonsoft Aran, Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, Lily Sugar’n Cream (Worsted), Cascade Pima Cotton 100 (Worsted), Bendigo Woollen Mills Cotton 10-ply.

Construction notes: Worked flat in pieces from the bottom up; fronts and back begin with rib, then an 32-row repeat combining 6-st cables and purl-cluster/bobble texture; armholes and shoulders are shaped by cast-offs; fronts add neck decreases; separate ribbed button bands are worked and sewn on; neckline is picked up and ribbed in one piece.

Skill level: Intermediate (confident with cabling, working clustered decreases, picking up stitches, and matching pattern through shaping).
