Kempsey

This beautifully crafted sweater, knitted in soft Sports Weight yarn, is designed for crafters who enjoy creating cozy garments. The pattern is worked from the bottom up and features an easy-to-follow written guide along with detailed charts for incorporating vibrant colorwork.

For this lovely sweater, we recommend using 3¾mm and 4½mm (US 5 and 7) needles. Be sure to conduct a gauge test with your chosen needle size before beginning your project to ensure the perfect fit.

The garment is knitted flat, but for added convenience when handling stitches—especially during the initial stages of the yoke—you'll also need circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns).

The pictured samples showcase the use of Guernsey 5 ply pure 100% Wool, sourced sustainably from traceable sources on the Falkland Isles, underscoring our commitment to quality craftsmanship and ethical yarn usage.

This pattern is designed to fit sizes ranging from 18” to 24” with a comfortable positive ease of 2”. The finished sizes of the garment measure between 20” to 26”, with a back length of 14” to 17”. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and functional sweater!
