Jetty Sweater

To honor the rich history of the knitters of Guernsey Island, our Jetty knitting pattern is packed with many traditional elements that originate from that remarkable island life. For the fishermen of yesteryear, the garments they wore needed to be made from durable wool and perfectly fitted to withstand the rigors of their daily lives. To achieve this, the talented knitters developed time-honored practices, such as an overlapping hem, underarm gussets, straight line edges, seamless bottom-up construction, saddle shoulders, and seamlessly knitted in-the-round sleeves. Additionally, the design features a straight neck and a stand-up collar for a classic finish.

Beyond its practical functionality, Jetty also captures the artistic essence of traditional Guernsey knitwear with a stunning and fresh design across the chest, complemented by portions of this intricate pattern elegantly repeating on the upper sleeves. Whether you prefer to follow written instructions or charts, some stitch patterns are provided in both formats, while others are available as text-only guides. This versatile approach ensures that knitters of all skill levels can enjoy the process of creating this beautiful garment that pays homage to Guernsey's rich knitting heritage. Elevate your knitwear collection with Jetty—a blend of tradition, artistry, and modern flair that truly stands out.
