In Mood for Maybe

Introducing our beautifully designed Fair Isle hoodie cardigan, perfect for knitting enthusiasts looking for a project with a sophisticated touch. This cardigan features a stunning Fair Isle motif on the hood, yoke, and cuffs, making it a striking addition to your wardrobe. The unique round yoke design incorporates built-in increases, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit.

Crafted in the round from the top of the hood all the way to the hem, this pattern showcases the artistry of steeking at the finishing stage. During construction, sleeve stitches are cleverly left on waste yarn at the underarm, allowing you to complete the sleeves seamlessly after finishing the body. The sleeves are also knitted in the round for a smooth and polished look.

One of the standout features of this Fair Isle hoodie is the cut steek technique, which adds both durability and style to your garment. At the finishing stage, you'll pick up stitches along the front edges to create a neat I-cord edge, providing a professional finish. The cardigan is designed with a convenient zipper closure, making it easy to wear and style for any occasion. We've included helpful links to tutorials on steeking and sewing in the zipper to guide you through the process.

The sample was crafted using Ornaghi Filati Super Sport yarn, known for its quality and versatility. If you're considering alternatives, we also provide a list of suitable substitute yarns below, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your project.
