Fair Isle Beanie

Posted on by seafordspinnersandweavers

Karin has finished her beautiful Fair Isle beanie in forest colours. So good to look at. It is knitted in two ply Shetland wool so a soft, fine knit. Fair Isle has a rhythm to it and the colour changes and combinations can be inspiring. It is what it makes it easy to knit: watching the patterns form and take shape.

Ella Gordon‘s blog gives some good , quick insight into Fair Isle knitting. There is quite a history and a tradition.

Start Knitting has some good Fair Isle and colourwork patterns for beanies.

Rokolee helps you get better at using two colours with her video. She explains what works for her.
