No specific stitch counts are given. Text of description of the construction of traditional Dutch Fishermen’s Sweaters explains how to calculate the stitch count based on gauge. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and knit from shoulder, down. Schematics give row spacing for decreases down to the wrist for each size.

Regional variations and stitch patterns are supplied, with photographs and some history.
