Inspired by the parish of St. Martin in Guernsey, Channel Islands, this unisex pullover is designed with the traditional look of a guernsey but is knit in a style more familiar for today’s knitters.

The deep waistband is worked in a textured rib and includes classic side vents for ease and mobility. Body and set-in sleeves are worked in the round from the bottoms up and divided at the armholes, then worked flat. It is designed to provide a standard fit for men and a looser fit for women. Stitch patterns are charted.
