A Shaker Stitch is a variant of the fisherman's rib, often referred to as a half-fishermans rib and defined by a two-row repeat pattern. This construction leads to a sweater that feels the same on both sides. Its effectively reversible and drapes with ease. Our version in acardigan has four buttons and no pockets. Long, ribbed wrists and a lengthened hem provide a great shape for this heavy but breathable sweater.

The Shakers, or 'Shaking Quakers,' created this knit pattern a group of Christian pacifists who settled in New York state in 1774. The Shakers were prolific inventors and designers known for their historic and iconic contributions. Theres something elegant and minimal about this sweaters lines. It's not flashy and still, always looks good. A 100% Cotton yarn, simply warm and soft, makes it easy enough to machine wash. The Shakers would always prioritize such utility.
