Highly textured with knit and purl stitches, traditional Fisherman sweaters are very popular with the hand knitting crowd. Also known as ganseys, Guernseys and Cornish Knit-Frocks these styles are part of British history.

Featuring Frangipani wool, these examples are just the inspiration you need to create your own gansey on the machine.

Here are 2 ways we can knit ganseys:

• Garter carriage
• Textured tuck and slip stitch


Keep the sweater construction simple and keep the emphasis on the stitch patterning
