Whitby – Mrs Laidler II

Another version of my favourite pattern of all, this time in cream wool. You can see the highly intricate pattern more clearly here than in the navy blue version, with a good view of the cable going all the way up the sleeve from cuff to collar. Note also the “plain border” welt instead of the usual ribbing, in this case a simple garter stitch.

The rocky beach in the background is Kilve, on the north Somerset coast.

    As a knitter I have 2 gansey, however they were completed straight from a pattern. Do you have a pattern for the lovely cream gansey?

      Hi Pauline, I think we have the chart for the pattern on one of our other gallery pages, but no, I’m afraid I’ve never seen it as a written-out knitting pattern, sorry.

      I’ve never used a written-out pattern, and don’t understand them if I try. Working with charts is really very easy, and I’d be happy to offer advice if you felt like giving it a go?
