Immerse yourself in the beauty of colorwork with this Fair Isle knitting pattern, inspired by personal sketches and traditional Colombian art. The intricate design reflects the drawings my husband would sketch during our dates at one of our favorite restaurants, combined with the geometric and rhythmic motifs I grew up admiring in Colombia.

This versatile three-color pattern allows knitters to experiment with different color combinations, making each project uniquely personal. Whether you’re looking for a cozy handmade gift or a statement piece to enjoy your knitting skills, this pattern is designed to be both engaging and rewarding.
