This pattern supplements “The Fine Art of Fair Isle with Shetland’s Hazel Tindall”, which is available as a download here.

Fair Isle cardigan with straight sides and an optional small pocket – or two. Apart from the ribs, the cardigan is knitted in the round, with steeks at the centre front, armholes and neck. Instead of the more usual jumper weight yarn, this pattern uses double knitting yarn to make it easier to see when filmed. The sleeves are knitted from the cuffs up, then grafted to stitches picked up and knitted from the sides of the armholes.

Every step is demonstrated in the DVD/download and skills shown can easily be used with other knitting projects.
