Art Nouveau fairisle sweater
Introducing a beautifully designed top-down knitting pattern that's perfect for knitters of all levels! This pattern features a delightful yoke, separate sleeves, and a versatile body design, allowing you to finish the garment with ease. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the adjustable sleeve and body length make it easy to customize your creation to fit your style.
This stunning project incorporates three colors: a main color (MC) and two contrasting colors (CC1 and CC2). The intricate colorwork is executed using the traditional Fair Isle technique, ensuring a vibrant and eye-catching finish. Additionally, the bottom and sleeve finishes include a combination of knit, purl, and Fair Isle techniques, adding texture and depth to your finished piece. The collar, designed with a supple rib, creates a charming "lacy" effect that beautifully enhances the overall look of the garment.
To get started, you’ll need the right tools! This pattern requires 4mm circular needles in three lengths: 40cm/16'', 60cm/24'', and 80cm/32''. You'll also need some scrap yarn and stitch markers for convenient stitch management. If you prefer added flexibility, optional 3.5mm circular needles can be utilized as well.
When it comes to yarn, the approximate yardage is around 75% for the main color (MC), while the contrasting colors each require about 12%. This ensures that you have plenty of room to play with your color selections and create a truly unique garment.
This top-down knitting pattern is perfect for creating a stylish and cozy garment that you’ll want to wear again and again. Download our free pattern or explore premium options for even more unique designs. Happy knitting!
