Fair Isle Knitting and Design

Traditional Fair Isle knitting and design skills were originally handed down from one Shetland generation to the next, with new generations experimenting, adapting, and extending the patterns to develop the Fair Isle knitting we see today. The distinctive combination of colors and patterns, ranging from the simple to the highly intricate, continues to inspire knitters worldwide. Five original designs, with further ideas for modification and development, are included, as well as guidance on adapting and designing Fair Isle projects of your own.

Abilitatile traditionale de tricotat si proiectare Fair Isle au fost transmise initial de la o generatie Shetland la alta, noile generatii experimentand, adaptand si extinzand tiparele pentru a dezvolta tricotajul Fair Isle pe care il vedem astazi. Combinatia distinctiva de culori si modele, de la cele simple la cele extrem de complicate, continua sa inspire tricotatele din intreaga lume.
