The Fisherman’s Wharf Sweater is a top-down drop-shoulder textured sweater featuring half-fisherman’s rib, cables, and a fun wave texture. This pattern has been tech edited and test knit in all sizes.

Matching made-to-measure pet sweater pattern included!

Inspired by Fisherman’s Wharf, this design includes classic nautical details like ropes and waves, drawing elements from traditional Guernsey knitwear. It’s a nod to one of the most iconic places in San Francisco.
