A round-necked sweater with Celtic-inspired Fair Isle patterning on the lower body, worked in the round without seams, with options for both sleeveless and long-sleeved versions.

Worked in three or four colours of 4-ply yarn, the Fair Isle design is worked from a chart. Small quantities of yarn are required for the contrast colours, so mini-skeins are perfect for this.

A suitable project for those fairly new to Fair Isle, as all the shaping is done in the plain sections. The body is worked in the round to the armholes, then back and front are worked in rows to the shoulders. Stitches are picked up for the neckband, and for either armbands or modified drop shoulder sleeves, which are worked in the round.
