    Notes Note that this gansey has no shoulder strap. Instead there is a single rig where back and front are grafted together. The pattern was orginally charted as plain diamonds but re-assessed in the light of charting GP57 Alma West's gansey wherby the intersections have four purls which are visible on close examination in the photograph. This is one of three examples of this identical pattern encountered so far and lends support to the idea that these were commercially produced (hand-knitted) rather than home made and so may not be of Sheringham.origin.
