If you’ve been wanting to try your hand at fair isle, or learn to knit a sweater in the round from the bottom up, here’s a quickie to get you started - and with scrap yarn, too! The sweater is knit in the round on circular needles, starting at the bottom edge and working up to the underarms. The yoke contains a simple stranded design. A one-day sweater -- and a happy kid with a freshly-outfitted bear.
