“I am fascinated with using modern graphics in my Fair Isle designs, and am very influenced by the tiles you see in Mediterranean countries, so this design is a bit of a mash-up, using contemporary colours,” explains Juliet Bernard. Her cowl and matching mitts are knitted in Debbie Bliss’s Fine Donegal, a 4ply yarn which has a tweedy appearance and a lovely softness thanks to its cashmere content. It comes in 16 warm shades.
