Fair Isle tank tops are classics you will wear forever. This beauty is a joy to knit, in vibrant Erin Tweed colours, with a ribbed button side fixing. Adorable, timeless - you’ll wear it over and over again! This is a simple Fair Isle chart to follow, and you’re working flat, back and forth, so it’s a good project for those adventurous beginners who are ready for some colourwork!
