Here it is, a traditional seamless fisherman's sweater, with shoulder straps, underarm gussets and a monogram in the bottom right corner. It is knitted in 5 ply Guernsey wool using the same cable and moss stitch pattern as I used for the cabled jacket described in a previous post Fitted Cabled Jacket. I wanted to knit it in the round with no seams to sew and no tight cast off edges. All the stitches are threaded onto a contrasting colour yarns and picked up later when needed.I used an excellent book for this project. "Knitting in the Old Way" by Pricilla A Gibson-Roberts and Deborah Robson. It is a treasure trove of information containing plans for numerous styles of sweater construction, which can easily be adapted.
