Unisex Fair Isle zipped cardigan, in three sizes, with two front pockets and shaped hood. Knitted in undyed Shetland Supreme Jumper weight yarn.

Photographs show size 2.

Most of the garment, including the hood, is knitted in the round, and there are no seams. The construction is traditional, with straight sides and sleeves are knitted from the top down.

The hood is knitted first, washed and blocked; this gives the knitter the chance tobecome familiar with the colour sequence, to ensure the tension is correct and to practice all the techniques required to finish the whole garment.

Only two colours are used in each round.
Size can be increased by using thicker needles.
