About
Deerception is a fair isle/ stranded sweater for men who won’t wear fair isle/ stranded sweaters. It can be made with more subtle colors for a more subdued effect :)

The chart alone can be knit using between 2 and 4 colors, not counting the main color for the pullover itself. It can also be knitted with just 2 colors for a more basic look.

This pattern uses a combination between stranded knitting and intarsia. The body is knit flat, while the sleeves are knit in the round.

Sizing and yarn estimation
Gauge single yarn = 19 x 26 = 10cm/ 4”
