The herring fishermen of Loch Fyne used to carry small scraps of wool in their pockets as lucky charms. Could this allover, herring themed, colourwork gansey be extra lucky?

Needles and notions

Gauge-size and below gauge-size needle(s) of your preferred type for working small circumferences (sleeves)
6 stitch markers
Waste yarn for holding stitches
Tapestry needle

Gauge
30 sts and 34 rounds to 10cm / 4in over colourwork in the round on gauge-size needle(s). If your gauge tends to tighten when working small circumferences, you may need to go up a needle size for sleeves. Use 3mm needle as a starting point for swatching.

Sizes
Finished bust circumference: 87 (92, 98, 108.5, 113.5, 119.5, 130, 141) cm / 34¼ (36¼, 38½, 42¾, 44¾, 47, 51¼, 55½) in

Pattern Notes
A neat, slightly cropped pullover (which can be worked longer, if desired) with dropped sleeves and allover colourwork. Following a chart, the pullover is worked in the round to the underarms. Two steek bridges are added where the armscyes begin to enable the work to continue in the round, and a third steek is then added at the front neck, which is shaped with decreases. Once the body is complete, the shoulders are joined with a three needle bind off and the three steeks are reinforced before being cut open. Two sleeves are picked up around the armscyes, and worked top down. When the corrugated rib neck edging is added, the pullover is complete. Note that steek stitches are not included in running stitch totals.
