Caitria

Caitria features a contemporary Fair Isle colourwork motif that offers plenty of opportunities for having great fun playing with colour. The motif follows the traditional Fair Isle rules of having no more than two colours per round, and no more than seven consecutive stitches in one colour, so it’s the perfect project for newbies to colourwork, but also offers enough colour versatility and complexity for the more experienced knitter.

Caitria is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features contemporary stranded colourwork. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the hem and wrist cuffs are finished off with ribbing. The pattern includes a colourwork chart as well as a symbol chart, for you to play around with your own colours.
