Geo Yoked Fair Isle Sweater [Knitting Pattern]

The Geo Yoked Sweater started as a Shetland Wool Week Fashion Show commission. Inspired by the geology and landscape of the Scottish Islands, the sweater design creates texture and colour in the yoke using a new interpretation of the fabulous Fair Isle OXO patterns.

This pattern is for experienced knitters who love seamless knitting, colour, cabling and Fair Isle.
