The fishermen of the Aran Isles (off the south-west coast of Ireland) invented these stitches ... A true Aran design consists of a symmetrical arrangement of motifs on either side of a central panel, which can be formed: - by a cable or cabled pattern which can be wide or narrow, simple or complicated and is usually worked on a background of reverse stockinette stitch (one row purl. one row knit). or: - by a panel of fancy pattern usually giving a raised effect. The side panels generally consist of an arrangement of patterns giving a vertical effect. They can be classic: diamonds, single or double zig-zags, ring cables, etc. 3, record 1, English, - Aran
