Yoke sweaters are practical and beautiful - a colorwork yoke can take a simple knitted sweater to another level by introducing a decorative element at the neckline of the jumper.

All the sweaters in this collection are knitted top down and in the round which means there is no sewing up to do at the end. The whole yoke section is knitted in one piece, increasing as you go until it reaches the correct circumference and then the body and sleeves are knitted in the round separately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis means that you can adjust the length of the sweater to get the perfect fit by trying it on as you go.

Today, the styling and history of ganseys is as popular as ever and this collection of stitch patterns and projects brings the history of ganseys to a new audience.

Discover all the techniques you need to make an authentic gansey sweater with their special features which were developed for warmth and comfort in what were often, harsh conditions out at sea. Ganseys were designed with a special under arm gusset and a shoulder seam which prevented chaffing and improved movement for the wearer even when the jumper got wet and heavy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe authors explain these techniques with step-by-step instructions and artworks so you can replicate these details in your own work. Another key element to the gansey is the stitch pattern which was specific to the local area and often had a symbolism beyond the pattern itself and, some hoped, would act as a charm to keep the fishermen safe while they were out at sea. This collection features a comprehensive directory of 150 gansey stitch patterns so you can choose your favourite designs and motifs and learn which patterns were important to the fishermen in different areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are also 10 patterns for garments and accessories so you can practise your skills.
