St Helena Sweater
PDF PATTERN
The St Helena is not a gansey per se, but it features a lot of the key elements of a classic gansey design, such as the Channel Island cast on, a band of stockinette stitch at the hip, a long chest and back panel, a classic 8-pattern repeat motive and gussets at the underarm and neck.
It has been carefully scaled to fit many sizes and it features a set of short rows to accommodate the bust.
This is an entertaining and fun knit with lots of action happening at the same time and a few cool challenges along the way. Enjoy!
Download includes both the Spanish and English version of the pattern.
