pdf pattern for the Chevron Gansey by Elizabeth Lovick

The inspiration for this sweater comes from fishermen’s ganseys. The front and back are worked from the bottom up, insetting the sleeves further than usual. The sleeves are worked from the top down, ensuring that the arm holes are edged in the garter stitch ridges. The sleeves are styled long and the sweater short, but if preferred these lengths can easily be adjusted.
