BSKD-P018 Fireside Aran Afghan

"The Fireside Aran Afghan was published originally in Twists and Turns®: The Newsletter for Lovers of Cable Knitting as an 'installment' pattern," says Szabo. "Knitters did not know until all the pieces were knitted what the finished afghan would look like! It is presented here as a complete pattern—- no mystery involved. This is an afghan for the coldest of cold winter nights." Or the decors you most wish to honour. It's a superb piece, rigorously classical in every way, with the magnificent textural contrasts you want in an Aran design. Would look superb in a heathered yarn, too. Done in 14 ply (chunky) yarn; made in 7 separate strips which are then sewn together.
