Stovenswala Gansey

The Stovenswala is a traditional Shetland gansey designed with vertical panels of different sizes. The main motif is positioned so that it runs continuous up the front and back to join at the shoulders. The spaces down the sides and underams are filled with a seed pattern. This small repeat pattern makes it easier to alter the size of the gansey without affecting the main motifs. The gansey features full length sleeves and a V neck. It is made in 100% Shetland wool using four natural shades and four dyed shades.

The pattern offers seven sizes from 36 to 60” chest.
Please pay particular attention to the required tension as my knitting tends to be close.

In this design I have used 7 shades of 100% Shetland wool. I have used four natural shades (in 50G balls) and four dyed shades (in 25G balls) from Jamieson & Smith.
