The inspiration for this sweater comes from rich textural effects found in gansey sweaters. The texture stands out against solid color and a variety of stitches maintain the crocheter’s interest throughout the project.
Gansey sweater is worked sideways, Back and Front separately. Sleeves are worked separately from bottom up. Ribbing edging is added at the end. Size adjustments are made easy by extending simple main pattern sections on either side of the center panel.
