There is a gaping hole on the left breast and several more. The pattern is almost identical to GP71 but differs in the following respects: the rigs between the seed panels are single rigs while Duggie Carter's are double rigs; the wherryman has four cables while Carter has only three. Carter's gansey has two rigs just below the neckline while the wherryman's has three. This looks like adjustment to achieve the correct size of gansey, as all other details are the same.
