Pattern Description from A Fine Fleece: “Here I take a single gansey knitting element, the reverse stockinette stitch dividing ridge, and use it as the main design motif. Multiplying the ridges to replicate corduroy cloth, I places the repeating pattern in the traditional position of the upper yoke and also played with the rhythm of the repeat of the ridges at the shoulders to mimic shoulder straps. The dark brown handspun version in Black Welsh Mountain crossbred wool is decidedly masculine, so to make a more feminine version, I added a ridged mock neck and used s soft and tweedy yarn.”
