About the Pattern
This traditional yoked sweater was designed for my friend Allison, and is knitted in “jumper weight” Shetland wool which is equivalent to 4-ply or fingering weight. The patterns are traditional Fair Isle, with a blend of colours, but never more than two colours in each round. It was fun to go through my – ahem – large stash of Shetland jumper weight wool and choose colours over a cuppa.
The body is worked in the round from the bottom up, with optional waist shaping. Sleeves are also worked from the bottom up, then body and sleeves are joined to form the circular yoke. Short rows below the colourwork and at the back neck make for a comfortable fit, with a snug neckline.

Note that it is difficult to be accurate in estimating quantities of these yarns in the small amounts used. However, CC2 and CC3 require the largest amounts, which will each be approx 13g for the smallest size and 20g for the largest. CC9 is only used in 3 rows and only requires a few grams. Other colours will require from 7-10 grams each.
This pattern would also work using a single background colour and a variegated contrasting yarn.
