Fair Isle Cardigan and Bonnet

This charming set for babies has a traditional, vintage charm and was inspired by fair isle knitting. The fronts and back of the cardigan are knitted in one to the armhole which then avoids extra sewing in of ends. The colour work is very simple and you will not need to weave yarns along the back. The examples on the pattern have been knitted in Rowan Pure Wool Superwash but if tou cannot find this, Debbie Bliss Rialto DK is readily available and makes a very good alternative as would any good quality double knitting yarn .You will also need small quantities of three futher contrasting colours.
