With elements of a traditional gansey, this sweater has been updated to include a zippered front. Of course, button bands can be substituted without losing the classic look. The high collar and long length will keep him warm in the upcoming cooler months.
The Fiber Seed’s hand dyed yarn has just enough tonal quality to show of your work with stitch patterns.
It is a classic that will never go out of style.

Finished measurements are 38 (42, 45, 49) inches, so can also be made for women.

The saddle shoulders are worked while attaching the fronts and back of the sweater.
