I recently discovered this “Yvette jumper” round-neck Fair Isle yoke pullover knitting pattern. I remember the beautiful stranded designs that my grandmother made for us when we were little. After searching online, I found this one, which has been created by Sarah Hatton. It has been designed for those who are new to this technique. It is knitted on circular needles.
This creation has several rows of diamond designs around the shoulders and neck and an unusual 2-colour ribbing detail. It is done using circular and double-pointed needles.
