Customer Reviews for ANNIE'S SIGNATURE DESIGNS: Gansey Afghan Knit Pattern

The Gansey Afghan pattern I ordered December 3 arrived today...yay! A representative called recently to say they were re-sending the pattern, since the original one I ordered had not arrived. I appreciate their efforts to provide me with this pattern. It is lovely, and since it is my first Gansey project, hopefully, I will do it justice. Again, my thanks to Annie's customer service for their efforts.

Amazing pattern! So beautiful and easy! I bought this pattern a few years ago and made an afghan for myself, then one for my daughter-in-law as a gift, which she loved, then my 4 grown children each wanted one too. I have 3 more afghans to go! I highly recommend this pattern for anyone and especially for someone like me who is a good knitter but has yet to become 'intermediate' but still wants a lovely pattern. Great project for winter-time 2020!

Just purchased this pattern and would like to make it bigger. Any suggestions? How many to cast on, etc.? Thank you.

Mary - we're sorry, but we don't have instructions for modifying the size of the afghan.

Have made this afghan twice and thinking of doing it again. Highly recommend. Have used the associated yarn for both first it the grey shown and then a deep red.

I appreciate having the printed instructions and find this pattern easy and very relaxing for me to knit. Love the design!

I am now knitting a 2nd gansey afghan and both will be ready for my dear brother and his dear wife to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I am knitting these identical afghans in Encore Creamy White worsted yarn. Great pattern for great people.

I downloaded this pattern. I liked that the pattern had a chart and also written instructions. Also the pattern stitch repeat was given which would make it easy to alter the size of the completed afghan. Using this pattern I intend to knit a baby afghan with baby yarn, smaller needles, and fewer stitches. I expect it will turn out as nicely as the Gansey Afghan.

I want to thank the pattern makers for adding fully written instructions for this afghan.
It's available in the Electronic Pattern Purchase. I did just purchase it.

Thank you much for listening to your customers. Not all of us are able to read charts for various reasons... for me, my husband or grandkids have to read the instructions for me because the up and back reading motion makes me dizzy. I have many complicated
patterns that are fully written out.... and I wish all pattern makers would take those like me in consideration. Again thank you. I never expected this and it was a delightful surprise!

A nice straight-forward pattern with a great result, but not great value for money!!
