A super textured sweater with an interesting mix of stitches. The design reflects the traditional fishermen’s sweaters of North East England, with it’s generous fit and division of the various stitches.
The lower borders of the Back, Front and Sleeves is a neat slip stitch edging which is also used to “frame” the cabled yoke and upper Sleeve pattern.
