“My garden was the inspiration for this Fair Isle jumper, which is knitted top down with the yoke in bands of gingham squares and flowers,” says Mary Henderson. “The front and back have a large floral motif, then a band of flowers and a double moss stitch border are worked. Croft DK is a soft-spun Shetland fibre which has a lovely drape, so it can be layered with just a vest or a long-sleeve blouse.”
