Pattern description from The Celtic Collection: “The pattern on this slipover is taken from a single border on an illuminated manuscript from Lindisfarne, a tiny island off the coast of Northumberland, North East England. The regular character of the border makes it an excellent Fair Isle design - one that can be repeated across the width of the knitting and for the length of the fabric. Worked here in a subtle mix of tweed and silk and wool yarns, this garment will be popular with both men and women.”
