Fair Isle Jumper Knitting Pattern A classic Fair Isle jumper with a beautifully detailed circular yoke that brings timeless Nordic-inspired style to your wardrobe. The clean stocking stitch body allows the striking colourwork to take centre stage, while the relaxed silhouette makes it comfortable for everyday wear. The jumper is worked flat in separate back, front and sleeve pieces before being joined for the seamless circular yoke. The Fair Isle pattern is then knitted in the round, finishing with a deep ribbed neckline for a cosy, polished look.
