An intriguing Aran trellis pattern gives great impact to this gorgeous design. Trinity stitch (aka blackberry/bramble stitch) and a claw cable, follow up each side of the trellis. I chose a lovely tweedy chunky wool for this design and the stitchery really stands out well. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
