Fair isle cardigan worked after traditional patterns and methods, as described in Alice Starmore’s Book of Fair Isle Knitting

• Traditional OXO borders separated by a peerie pattern
• Colour scheme with two colours per row - pattern colour and background colour
• Pattern and background colours change from row to row
• Knitted in the round and cut open
• Sleeves knitted from body to cuff
• Under-arm gussets
• Corrugated ribbing

Details:

• I-chord starts/ends all ribbing edges
• Shoulders are grafted together instead of making a seam
• Neck collar is fitted by decreasing in the “purl columns”
• Neck collar and cuffs are lined with fleece
• A patch inside the sleeve increases lifetime
