Staghorn Aran Pattern
A Twists and Turns Newsletter® Pattern
Designed by Janet Szabo
This pattern originally appeared in the Fall 2002 issue of Twists and Turns®: The Newsletter for Lovers of Cable Knitting. That version was worked from the bottom up; here it has been redesigned to be knit from the top down, and is offered in an expanded range of sizes.
