I love Fair Isle, and wanted to incorporate it into a shawl, but what to do about the ugly wrong side? Solution: double sided Fair Isle. It’s a bit tricky at first, but if you are the type of knitter who loves projects full of interesting little details and are not afraid of a challenge then this is for you!
The shawl also incorporates a reversible cable edging along the top edge and a very very frilly border of course!
Skill level: advanced
