Little seals will feel comfortable in this traditional fishermans sweater that will cer-tainly become a favorite with its wearer. A small-items pocket and ship ready to em-bark on its journey ensure that knitting won't get boring.

This guernsey is no knitted the traditional way, but rather in rows instead of rounds and from the buttom up. The pattern included notes, if you want to knit it in rounds.

Gauge:
30 sts und 40 rows in stockinette stitch = 4x4 inches
