Call the Ships to Port
Call the Ships to Port is a rugged seamless sweater inspired by the traditional Gansey sweaters of the Channel Islands. It is worked in the round from the bottom; worked flat across the front and back; and joined with a perpendicular saddle, following Elizabeth Zimmermann’s method. Sleeves are knit in the round from armscye to cuff, and borders are worked in 2/1 ribbing.
