This cardigan sweater uses traditional Fair Isle techniques. The sweater is knit in the round using stranded knitting. The armholes, cardigan, and neck use steeks to enable the pattern to proceed in the round.

This child’s cardigan uses 11 colors of pinks, oranges, purples, and blues. The large motif gives the illusion of a flower garden and an X shaped peerie pattern is also included.
