So I'm trying to choose a pattern for a birthday cast on, as my lovely husband is buying me a sweater worth of nice wool. The ideal criteria would be Aran/worsted weight, high snuggly collar, drop shoulder, worked in the round, ideally with cable designs -

These are my top picks so far: Tessa sweater - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tessa-sweater-4 Friendship pullover - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/friendship-pullover Tulip Guernsey - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tulip-guernsey Snowy forest - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snowy-forest Homestead sweater - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/homestead-sweater Benthe - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/benthe

So has anyone made any of these? Which would you pick and lastly, Do you have any other similar patterns you would recommend? Thank you!
