Ganseys are sweaters that
developed in 19th-century England as hard-wearing garments
for hard-working fisherman. Characterized by their dense,
dark yarns, rich pattern combinations,and dropped shoulders,
these simple square garments provide the modern knitter with
a template for a wide variety of classic designs. Detailed,
step-by-step line drawings and photographs, sidebars, and
formulas help the reader build a foundation of skills. Pattern
graphs and instructions for six of the author's own designs
are included.
