King's Lynn Gansey

Pattern Design by Cheryl Toy

Thoughts of the North Sea always conjure up pictures of the classic mariner’s sweater, the Gansey! I’ve always loved this hard-wearing, hard-working, well-engineered piece of the seafarer’s kit. Warm, well-fitted and practically waterproof, the traditional Gansey has been knitted in the same time-honored manner for a hundred years or more. The King’s Lynn Gansey turns to classic motifs – a six-stitch braid, a thermal stitch and simple flags – then adds a nod to our Canadian roots with a lyrical North Star cable. It is worked from the top down, beginning with shoulder straps. The sleeves are worked downward and a button-up collar is added during finishing.

The sample in the photos is shown in size Medium (100 cm / 39.25" at widest point of torso) and is modelled with 8.5cm (3.25") of ease on both models. The sample is in Oak.

Finished Measurements:

Size XS is 80 cm / 31.5" and requires 5 skeins of yarn
Sizes S, M are 90 and 100 cm / 35.5" and 39.25" and require 6 skeins of yarn.
Sizes L is 110 cm / 43.25" and requires 7 skeins of yarn.
Size XL, 2X are 120 and 130 cm / 47.25" and 51.25" and require 8 skeins of yarn.
Sizes 3X, 4X are 140 and 150 cm / 55" and 59'” and require 9 skeins of yarn.
Size 5X is 160 cm / 63" and requires 10 skeins of yarn.

Recommended Needle Size:
3.25 mm /US 3 32" Circular for body, 40" circular Magic Loop or DPNs for sleeves
Crochet hook 3.25mm / E-9 for provisional cast on
