Valley Yarns Loch is a stunning unisex Fair Isle pullover knit in Northfield. The Fair Isle motifs are situated carefully on the upper sleeves and lower chest, making it doable for less experienced knitters. Loch is worked in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. All colorwork is done in the round before dividing the front and back. The sleeves are knit from the cuffs to the shoulder and then seamed into the armholes. The Fair Isle pattern is in chart form only.
