What you’ll make: A structured, lace-up front cardigan with a scalloped lower edge, cable panels and a textured centre motif, finished with set-in sleeves, a picked-up ribbed neckband, and a separate stocking-stitch lace for the front opening.

Sizing/Measurements: To fit bust 32–34, 34–36, 36–38, 38–40 in; finished width 40, 42, 44, 46 in; length 24, 25, 26, 27 in; sleeve seam 17, 17½, 18, 18½ in.

Yarn: Aran-weight yarn to match gauge, main shade (A) 15 (15, 16, 17) × 50 g; contrast (B) 1 × 50 g.

Needles & notions: 4 mm and 5 mm needles; cable needle; tapestry needle.

Tension (gauge): 19 sts × 24 rows = 4 in over stocking stitch using 5 mm needles.

Yarn Suggestions: UK—Rowan Kid Classic (Aran), Sirdar Country Classic Aran; US/Canada—Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted/Aran, Cascade 220 Superwash Aran; Antipodean—Heirloom Merino Magic 8-ply used held suitably to gauge or a true Aran equivalent. Match gauge; fibre blend to taste (pure wool, acrylic, or wool-blend).

Construction notes: Pieces are worked flat from the hem; scallop edge is established, then cables and a textured panel flow up the body; fronts are divided early for the lace opening; shoulders are seamed; sleeves are worked flat and set in; neckband is picked up and worked in K1, P1 rib with a stocking-stitch facing in contrast; a long stocking-stitch lace is knitted separately for the front opening; seams are finished and the garment is blocked to measurements.

Skill level: Intermediate (established cables, shaping while maintaining pattern, simple finishing).
