Travel has its benefits: Embroidery-Inspired Fair isle neck warmer

Patterns available on Ravelry
Accessories available on Etsy

This two-color Fair Isle pattern is a relatively easy knit and a good way to practice color stranding.

The neckwarmer/cowl is meant to be a snug fit – and measures 19.5 x 9.5 inches (49.5 x 24.1 cm).

The pattern is based on a traditional Russian Kargopol embroidery design – worked in red thread on a white background. I chose to knit this in a blueish green color as the primary color and a golden yellow as the secondary color.

The pattern is available on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/embroidery-inspired-fair-isle-neck-warmer

I hope you give this a try. If you do, please send a photo – I’d love to see your work.

Happy Knitting!
