Description

The Gansey Knitting Sourcebook brings the traditional craft of gansey knitting to a new audience. This comprehensive sourcebook, written by experts Di Gilpin and Sheila Greenwell, explores the techniques and history behind gansey knitting, a hardwearing sweater traditionally knitted for fishermen in the British Isles. The book features a comprehensive directory of 150 gansey stitch patterns, as well as 10 projects for garments and accessories. The authors explain the techniques used for knitting ganseys, including the special under arm gusset and shoulder seam that prevented chaffing and improved movement. With step-by-step instructions and artworks, readers can replicate these details in their own work. This sourcebook is a valuable resource for anyone interested in traditional gansey knitting, from beginners to experienced crafters. The projects include a child's traditional gansey sweater, allowing readers to try out their skills on a smaller scale.
