Fairwinds is a classic pullover with bands of colorwork encircling the yoke and wrists, and the feminine finish of folded picot hems at the neck, wrists, and hem.

This design was produced in partnership with North Light Fibers as part of their Beacon program. Beacon is a royalty-based plan to provide high quality patterns to knitters while paying fair compensation to independent designers. I’m grateful to North Light Fibers for their partnership, and I encourage knitters to work with their beautiful made in the USA yarns.
