Gillespie Sweater

This is a smaller version of the adult Finsbury Park Sweater that I originally designed for my husband, and Gillespie is a small park close to the larger Finsbury Park in London, so it seemed like a good name for this junior-sized sweater.

Although the sweater has been scaled down for kids and younger teens, the key features that make this sweater special remain unchanged:

The deep textured panel adds visual interest and draws attention to the upper body. The sleeves are shaped for a comfortable and neat finish. The neckline is slightly loose to make sure the sweater isn’t constraining. The sweater is seamed to give structure and a great fit at the shoulder and armhole.

Yardage/meterage required: 460 (590, 660, 740, 830, 910, 1040) yds/420 (540, 605, 675, 760, 830, 950) mts heavy worsted or aran weight yarn.

All measurements are given in inches and centimetres.

The instructions are fully written out, there is a schematic, and there is an additional chart for the textured stitch.
