From pattern description:
“Loose-fitting tunic length cardigan with alternating strips of cables and Fair Isle patterns with large shawl collar and separate cable belt.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006:
“My Fair Isle lady. Shirley Paden’s button-down cardigan with set-in pockets is long on looks … or should we say luxe? A traditional Fair Isle motif juxtaposes with panels of the basic cabling that graces the collar, cuffs and belt. Extra texture comes from the reverse stockinette on the outside edges and pocket tops. Knit in ‘Zara’ by Filatura Di Crosa/Tahki-Stacy Charles, Inc.”
