The Staffin pattern includes individual patterns for a Sweater, Vest and Cardigan; and the cardigan comes with both V neck and Round neck options.

This pattern is a top-down, textured knit with ribbing, diamond brocade and faux-bobbles. The changing textures are engaging to work and the gansey-style finished piece is fun to wear.

The cardigan and sweater are raglan construction. The vest is worked firstly by knitting the back, then picking up at the shoulders and working the front and then joining in the round. This pattern is written AND charted.
