Fun with Fair Isle
which to chose?
In between cleaning today I worked on a few different fair isle patterns for the remake of the infant sweater. I came up with three patterns, making sure to follow all the rules of a good fair isle pattern:
- only two colors per row.
- each color should span no more than five stitches.
- use each color evenly (this is more of a design constraint than a fair isle rule).
I think I like the third one best -- especially for a sweater whose base will be white. I think I'd use the second one for a hat - its more solid, and I think a band that solid on a white sweater might be too much.
