Long cardigans are great for fall and winter, wearing inside the house and out. I pretty much live in knit cardigans for months on end, and this is a super cozy option.
The Winding Ropes Coatigan from Patons is a pretty easy pattern and worked in chunky yarn, but it’s still a big project and it will take a lot of evenings by the fire or in front of the television to complete.
But isn’t that the perfect occupation for fall and winter? And in the end you’ll have a great classic cardigan you can wear for many seasons to come.

New to knitting? Not sure what Aran Knitting is?
The Aran pullover is a style of jumper that takes its name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Yes, they own claim to Aran as much as Champagne the town, own Champagne the drink. A traditional Aran Jumper or pullover as it is called is usually is off-white in colour, with cable patterns on the body and sleeves. Of course, today’s Aran designs are multicoloured and extend into beanies and accessories. Looking for more Aran Knitting patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

This is a very cute Cotigan, what a fun new description. I love it in the tweedy yarn. I saved it since I am now endlessly knitting a similar project.
