A gorgeous gansey style sweater with a modern twist. Neat little alternating bobbles are set between rows of tiny eyelets on the yoke. The sleeves are worked top down and start off with a pattern band, matching the band across the base of the yoke. The neckline is set just a little away from the neck, allowing for a shirt to be worn underneath if desired. If you wish to length the sweater, I would suggest repeating the 10 rows of Main Pattern once more. Main body is worked bottom up. Full written instructions given.
