Robe of Glory Gansey
I created this Robe of Glory gansey design in 1979, inspired by the traditional fairisle knitting of the islands off the northern coasts of Scotland.
Two colours are knitted into each row, the colours alternately carried behind the work to create a soft and lightweight double-layer fabric which has excellent insulation qualities - wonderful to snuggle into on a cool day.
The pattern, for standard gauge single bed machine, gives colour stitch charts for each section, as well as written instructions and links to useful resources.
It is said that a special sweater would be knitted for a young man at the time that he reached adolescence.
The motif sequence tells a life story in symbols. The Water nurtures the Seed which grows to be a Flower. The Anchor is for hope, followed by the Tree of Life, a Star to guide you on your way, and a Crown of Glory - your reward in life.
Pull Robe de Gloire
Ce dessin est inspiré par le tricot traditionnel dit fairisle des îles Ecossaises.
Les symbols de la Vie - commencant en bas:
L’eau fait pousser le Grain qui deviendra une Fleur. Il-y-a une Ancre d’espoir, une Arbre de Vie, une Etoile Guide et la Couronne de Gloire.
On dit qu’un tel pull serait tricoté pour un jeune homme à l’adolescence.
Deux couleurs sont travaillés sur chaque rang, les couleurs tenus derrière pour créer un tissu léger de double couche.
Le patron, pour machine à tricoter 4.5mm, compris les graphiques coloris pour chaque pièce avec les directions et des liens vers les ressources utiles.
