A lovely mix of traditional Aran stitchery gives great definition to this all seasons sweater. Trellis diamonds are used in a group to form a bold central panel. The single diamond panel is framed by twist stitch “ropes”. And the panels of trinity (blackberry) stitch look great on this design. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
