Fair Isle Fashion Knits - Andrea Brauneis

From Andrea Brauneis, Fair Isle Fashion Knits is a paperback knitting book featuring 17 top-down designs that explore allover stranded colourwork from top to bottom. Modern and traditional motifs are reworked across a range of silhouettes, offering plenty of variety for knitters looking to expand their sweater wardrobe with distinctive, wearable pieces.

Inside, you’ll find patterns for cardigans, hoodies and short-sleeve sweaters, alongside cosy pullovers, ponchos and a dress. The collection also highlights how different yarn choices can change the look and feel of colourwork, including mohair for soft halos, merino wool for stitch definition and alpaca for lightweight warmth. Designed for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with sweater-making techniques and colourwork, the book includes an illustrated tutorial section to refresh stranded knitting and guide you through a selection of stitches and techniques.
