This Fair Isle sweater knitted in round with traditional Icelandic yoke. No pattern repeated here, each “stripe” is different. All charts are taken from Traditional Fair Isle Knitting by Sheila McGregor. This is a great book, our true heritage. Designs fitting I did myself, as well as the sweater construction in round.

1413 Lilac 3.12 skeins
0085 Oatmeal or 9421 Celery Green 2.5 skeins
1406 Spring Green 2.25 skeins
9432 Grape Heather or 1414 Purple 3.52 skeins

Ready measurements:
chest - 38.5” / 100 cm
body length - 30” / 76 cm

With 3.5 mm needles I made size S-M but recommended needles for Lett Lopi are 4.5 mm so with them you can achieve size L-XL, depending on your gauge.

Update 2017: Ístex discontinued Lilac 1413 color. What a pity!!! I probably must replace Lilac with pink and call the pattern “Pink Mist”. Arrgh!
