Peerie Fairisle Wristwarmers
Fair Isle Wrist warmers
An achievable Fair Isle colourwork knitting project that comprises of stripes of small (’peerie’) patterns. A great project for using up leftover wool with suggestions for using up even the smallest amount. Only two colours are used in each row with the unused yarn being carried across the back of the work.
The end result is a pair of practical, double-thickness mittens with a thumb hole for ease of movement in a colourful Fair Isle pattern. A full chart for the Fair Isle section is included in the pattern.
