Crisscross was inspired by classic fisherman’s ganseys and Aran knitting. Playing with a mix of intricate stitches and differing textures, combined with a simple shape, results in this classic jumper.

Crisscross is worked flat in pieces, all from the bottom edge up. Pieces are then seamed and the neckband is picked up and worked in the round. The cable pattern is featured on the front and back with a smaller panel on the sleeves. Cable patterns are both written and charted.

Sample is 35.5” size; model is 31” chest.
