Porty Pullover comes in two versions-women’s and unisex.

They are listed as separate patterns on Ravelry but you will get the downloads for both which ever pattern you purchase.

The unisex version does not have any waist shaping and the yoke depths are deeper. The body and sleeve lengths and upper arm dimensions are also different.

The details for the women’s version can be found here.

This sweater was inspired by a woven camel bag that I inherited from a dear friend of my parents (see images for the women’s version). He lived in Portobello, Edinburgh (locally known as Porty) and so I decided to call this sweater the Porty Pullover.

Below is the info for the unisex version.

This sweater is worked in one piece from the top down with a circular yoke construction. Sleeves and body are separated at the underarm. Short rows are used to raise the back neck. Colorwork is charted for the yoke and cuffs. This unisex version has a deeper yoke, wider upper arm circumference, longer body and sleeves and does not have any waist shaping.
