Book Reviews of Fair Isle Sweaters Simplified

Book Review: Beginners Fair Isle
Summary: 4 Stars

The knitting technique in this book described and illustrated very well. There are many projects from beginners Fair Isle to more complicated sweaters and cardigans. The patterns are for DK weight, so the sweaters will be very warm. The fit is for loosefitting sweaters with lots of ease and drop shoulders, so this gives a classic and cosy knit.
