A great, simple, first time fair isle for fair isle beginners. The consistency of doing repeated squares offers the opportunity to practise getting the tension right with the floats.

Although I said in the pattern it’s for two-hand knitting, you can also just do the “pick up and drop method”. But learning to knit with both hands will keep you from having to twist the yarns.

Tips, along with links are provided in the pattern to a couple of really good YouTube videos for learning how to two-hand knit, and also how to do the long-tail cast on.

Chart is included for colour work.
