Peated Whisky
Peated Whisky features a boxy fit, lots of texture, cozy ribbings, and pockets. A striking diamond cable motif is featured on each front of the sweater, and pockets echo the cable so it continues down the body from hem to shoulder. To keep things easy, the rest of the sweater is a mix of memorizable seed stitch, open cables and honeycomb, and all the cables transition into the hem and seams beautifully. Peated Whisky is knit flat, upwards from hem to armhole in one piece, and then separated and worked in three pieces to shoulder. Two options for body length are included in the pattern.

Yarn: The Plucky Knitter Yakkity Aran (100% yak, 160 yds/146m per 100g skein). If substituting, you want an Aran-weight wool in a solid, semi solid or a heather - or a dyed yarn without too much vareigation. Avoid any fibers with too much weight as cables can get heavy.
