Fair Isle Fashion Knits

17 Top-Down Designs in Allover Stranded Colorwork Patterns

Andrea Brauneis

Description

Unleash your love of colourwork! Instead of restricting stranded knitting to only the yoke of a sweater, the 17 patterns in this collection embrace colourwork from top to bottom.

Modern and traditional motifs are used in new ways to create an array of styles and shapes, from cardigans, hoodies and short sleeve sweaters to cozy pullovers, ponchos and even a dress. A variety of colourful yarns are used to varying effects: mohair for soft halos, merino wool for stitch definition and alpaca for lightweight warmth. The sweaters are unique and sure to be noticed, yet are comfortable and appropriate for everyday wear.

Patterns are sized from small to extra-large and are appropriate for intermediate knitters comfortable with sweater-making techniques and colourwork. An illustrated tutorial section provides a refresher on stranded knitting, if needed, as well as instructions on how to work a few possibly unfamiliar stitches and techniques. Knitters will be absorbed from start to finish as they add many new favourite sweaters to their collection!
