Machine-knit pattern pdf download (english)

Fair Isle knitting’s uniqueness lies in the fact that the motifs never repeat. They can have the same numbers of rows, but there is always something unique and different to each of them.

The Loop Scarf is a continuous display of 24 beautiful traditional patterns, carefully chosen and combined. It will easily wrap twice around your neck to give you cosy protection from wind and cold. It’s a single layer of fabric so the reverse can also be on show. Perfect to wear every day.

The possibilities for playing with colours are infinite, but this knitting pattern will provide you with charts for a couple of traditional options. One in the famous bright Fair Isle colours with a slight “Marie twist” and one in the natural colours of Shetland sheep. It also includes charts for beginners’ colourways where only the foreground or background colour changes. You will also find two-tone charts for you to choose your own colours.

The knitting starts with a waste-yarn cast-on and the last row of the scarf is grafted together with the first row for an invisible seam.
