Aran Jumper Pattern for man or woman

Topic started by pennydesign on June 24, 2011

Hi Everyone - I have at last tackled an Aran knitting pattern and have got along quite well. The only problem is I now don't like the pattern that I originally purchased as it has very wide sleeves that won't suit my Hubby. Does anyone have a pattern with ordinary sleeves, round neck, etc to do a swap with me for the one I have?
