Description
For centuries, fishermen from the British Isles have worn traditional sweaters, and these iconic garments have remained popular among both sailors and landlubbers alike. This book presents 82 authentic folk patterns for Guernsey and Jersey sweaters, along with diagrams for many more patterns to try. The author shares traditional stitch names and instructions for knitting each sweater using these patterns and stitches.
These traditional sweaters have been passed down through generations, and their sturdy construction has earned them a reputation for lasting wear. The book includes patterns from various regions, including Yorkshire, Norfolk, and the Aran Islands, and provides detailed instructions for knitting fronts, backs, sleeves, and necks in the traditional style. The author also includes adaptations for ladies' wear and provides photographs of finished sweaters.
