Shetland’s Fair Isle patterns have fascinated me for years, and I am mesmerized by the range of stunning, multicolored pullovers and accessories. I also love to see traditional patterns worked in two colors, which I feel can create a contemporary and elegant look. This rectangular wrap incorporates an all-over Fair Isle stitch pattern bordered by a checkerboard edge pattern.
