A beautiful top with stitchery reflecting elements of the gansey patterns of the North East English coast.
The yoke is worked in a slanting chevron pattern, divided at the centre front with a vertical division of stocking stitch and twist stitch.
The neck and armhole borders are so neat in reverse stocking stitch and match the border across the yoke.
