This fair isle cardigan was inspired by one of the most famous sweaters of all time, shown in a portrait of The Prince of Wales, painted in 1921. This portrait made sweater wearing socially acceptable.

This cardigan is perfect for fair isle lovers who would like to tone it down a notch. Save your museum reproduction for another day and take a Country Walk in this fun to knit fair isle. Steeks are optional, but certainly in the grasp of today’s savvy knitters, if you’re not feeling like handling wrong side pattern rows.

With all of the beautiful DK weight yarn available, it should be no problem to personalize this sweater with the colourway of your choosing.

Happy knitting.
