Named after Tobar Chiarain in the Aran Islands, Tobar Aran combines traditional cables with new ones to create a pullover that reaches across time. The cable patterns were designed to create a pleasing balance of width, thickness, and shape while keeping some easier patterns to offset the more detailed ones. It is worked flat from the bottom up with set-in sleeves.
