Women's Long Sleeveless Aran Cardigan/Waistcoat/Vest 1165

A long, sleeveless Aran cardigan with neat double-moss borders, travelling twists, and understated cable panels. Worked flat in Aran-weight yarn with integrated pocket linings and optional belt, this design finishes with front-and-neck borders in twisted-rib and a tidy buttonhole band. The fabric blocks crisply, the lines read clean over the body, and the pocket construction keeps the interior clean. Gauge is approximately 19 stitches = 4 inches in stocking stitch on UK 7 (≈4.5 mm) needles; choose any current Aran-weight wool or wool-blend that meets gauge.
