I’ve always loved all the traditional styles and techniques of knitwear from the British Isles, and have for a long time been planning to design a traditional Fair Isle jumper. You could say I’m starting small!
These fingerless mitts are a great way to use small amounts of coloured yarn, but equally could be made with a single contrast colour for a striking design.
Size - 7.5 inches / 19cm around palm of hand.
Gauge - 8 sts x 10 rows = 1 inch/ 2.5cm in colourwork pattern in the round
Yarn Requirements - Jamieson and Smith 2 ply jumper weight. Alternatively, use a similar yarn that will give gauge. 4 ply/ fingering weight is equivalent. The design uses 4 contrast colours, but you could choose to use only one if you preferred.
