The Aran Honeycomb Sweater is finally complete!
Final Steps
Weaving in Ends
Since my previous post, I (very slowly and tediously) sat down and wove all of the ends in.
That part wasn’t too difficult, but there were quite a few loose ends due to the multi-part nature of the sweater.
Neckband
I had been considering whether I should undo the neckband bind-off since it came out a bit tight. I ended up deciding not to re-open it and just let it stay as it was. That turned out to be a good decision because the collar loosened a bit over time! Even though it’s still somewhat tight, it’s not difficult to get my head through anymore. And also the tightness of the collar actually makes the fit more snug overall, which I think is a good feature for a sweater to have 👍
The pattern also called for the neckband to be folded and sewn down, but I just did this with the yarn itself and it turned out pretty well!
Final Thoughts
This was definitely a fun project and very straightforward to follow!
The pattern document itself was very well-written and nicely formatted too.
Also, since the cable patterns here aren’t very difficult, it’s a good project for beginners to get into cables.
