Inspired by the Norfolk Fishermen’s Gansey jumpers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Betty is a chunky crew neck knitted cardigan with roomy proportions, an original “hailstone” stitch on the top half of the body with cosy oversized bucket pockets.
Made from super soft 100% British wool and knitted in Nottinghamshire (Great Britain).
Betty Martin was a Gansey knitter from Sheringham, Norfolk who knitted many of the fishermen’s Gansey jumpers. Her signature stitches were “chevrons” and “meshes” or fishing nets.
“From fleece to finished knit in less than 125 miles.”
This generous, boxy fitting crew neck cardigan is the perfect layering piece when there’s a chill in the air. The roomy proportions and straight hem, mean you might like to size down for a neater fit. Trimmed with a chunky ribbed placket and neck trim. The Oatmeal and Milk White colours have recycled paper buttons, the Rye buttons are made from milk protein and the Navy is trimmed with corozo nut buttons.
Model wears size S/M, she’s a size 10 (UK) and 5″5 tall.
Measurements:
M/L length from high point shoulder to hem at side seam 63cm. Width across chest 67cm. Across shoulders 67.5cm
*there may be a slight variation in measurements of 1cm either way depending on colour. This is standard tolerance for knitwear.
