This pattern features three styles all using the same fairisle colourwork to beautiful effect, and giving you the freedom to choose the garment and range of colours best suited to your style. Designed by Lisa Richardson this pattern includes instructions for a cardigan, a skirt, a cowl, and a scarf. All knitted using Felted Tweed these pieces are stunning and eye-catching. Although the colour work gives an impression of complexity, all the pieces are knitted using stocking stitch, making them perfect for a knitter with less experience looking for some great colorwork!
