Fisher Lassie
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A new look for a beloved tradition…
FISHER LASSIE is a cardigan version of the gansey sweaters often worn by the 19th century fishermen of British coastline communities. It features the distinctive stitch patterning of that era but incorporates modern styling, fit and elegant construction techniques.
This garment is constructed from the top down, starting with the Right Front, followed by the Left Front. Then the Back section is picked up across their shoulder lines. All pieces are worked to the underarm, where they are joined and worked as one to hem. Stitch patterns are provided as charts.
Fisher Lassie has top-down sleeves and a neat, shaped shawl collar making for a cozy cardigan to wear on all your outdoor adventures, on land or sea.
