200 Fair Isle Designs - Mary Jane Mucklestone

From Mary Jane Mucklestone, 200 Fair Isle Designs is a paperback guide to creating and combining Fair Isle knitting patterns, with 200 designs presented in clear, chart-led format. Designed to build confidence with colourwork, it explains how to read colour charts so you can use the motifs across your own projects and garments.

A unique selector at the beginning of the book helps you choose a design quickly. Patterns are organised by row and stitch count, and each one is supported by an easy-to-follow chart showing both the pattern stitches and the colours used. For added flexibility, every sample is also charted in an alternative colourway, while a mix-and-match feature makes it simple to combine patterns. Guidance on yarn choices and special techniques unique to Fair Isle knitting completes this comprehensive reference.
