Inversion Gansey Knitting Pattern Download

A feminine version of the traditional gansey, this pullover sweater features waist shaping, slimmer fit, underarm gussets, texture patterning, and shoulder panels. These elements plus the use of lace panels instead of brocade ones all combine for a modern take on a sweater classic.
