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.”
