The Fair Isle Knitting Course is a 10 week course designed to teach you all the facets of knitting a Fair Isle sweater! Fair Isle knitting, also known as stranded colorwork knitting, is a regional style to the Scottish highlands. This style uses many colors through out the sweater and repeating patterns to create a colorful and eye-catching sweater. Fair Isle sweaters are also unique in where you knit the whole sweater in the round, and then cut your knitting (steeking) to create the sleeves and cardigan. While these sweaters can be intimidating, our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through every step of creating your Fair Isle sweater.
