MDK Field Guide No. 2: Fair Isle

by Kay Gardiner, Ann Shayne, Véronik Avery, Michèle Rose Orne, Ann Budd

Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide No. 2 is all about easy entry into the world of colorwork, with four projects that come together fast.

A colorful yoke.

A modern Fair Isle pattern.

Socks with something happening.

The three patterns in Field Guide No. 2 are as elegant in construction as any we have offered, thanks to the talent of these designers. These are juicy, delicious, addicting patterns.

Véronik Avery’s Hadley Pullover is the perfect mix of fit and ease. Michèle Rose Orne’s Asterisk Hat and Dot Cowl allow you to play with color and pattern as you like, to cheerful effect. And Ann Budd’s Après-Anything Socks, worked in worsted yarn, can be made so fast that they’re a candidate for Kwik ’n’ EZ Handknit Gift of the Year.

And Sara Remington’s photographs remind us that knitting is a beautiful thing.
