From Knitting with a Smile, 2nd edition, published 2005.

Simple pullover with a notched and tied neck and widely spaced narrow zig zag stripes.

Pattern recommends Gunga Din 3 ply wool or Gunga Din Thick Cotton 8/8, neither of which are available in the US or anywhere in 2025. Any worsted weight to heavy worsted yarn easily substitutes.

Patrick Stewart holds up a dark version of this sweater knitted by Alphonse Poulin (in the movie Match, loosely based on the real Alphy), who is a friend of Inger’s in this video clip.
