200 Fair Isle Designs by Mary Jane Mucklestone

Attn: Book available in English only

A comprehensive guide to 200 beautiful Fair Isle designs, traditional motifs from the Shetland Islands. Learn to read colour charts and rapidly gain the confidence to use these stunning designs to create your own stylish projects and garments.

A unique "selector" at the beginning of the book makes it easy to choose a design you like. Organised by row and stitch count, each of the patterns is accompanied by an easy-to-follow chart indicating both the pattern stitches and the colours used, and each sample is shown charted in an alternative colourway. A "mix and match" feature lets you combine patterns with ease. Includes guidance on yarn choices and special techniques unique to Fair Isle knitting.

Mary Jane Mucklestone is a knitwear designer, teacher and author of several books, based in Maine, USA and specialising particularly in Fair Isle and other types of stranded knitting. This book is the perfect companion to "150 Scandinavian Knitting Designs".
