Seavaiger

A light, simple pullover, updating the classic style of the maritime gansey with its ingeniously wearable shaping. “Seavaiger” is a Scots neologism meaning “seafarer”. It is also the name of an inspiring musical collaboration between Sally Beamish, Chris Stout, Catriona McKay and the Scottish Ensemble.

Pattern notes
Following a simple 2-shade stripe sequence, the body of this pullover is worked in the round, with dolman increases shaping the underarms. Front and back are divided, and the upper body, shoulders, and sleeve caps are worked back and forth, with a series of German short rows shaping the shoulders. After the shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off and the neck ribbing has been worked, sleeves are picked up around the armscyes and worked down to the wrists in the round. The sleeves are designed as bracelet length, but can be knitted longer as desired.
