Fair Isle Socks
in two colors or more
by Beth Brown-Reinsel
These socks are knitted in the round in two or more colors. As is the tradition, Fair Isle garments are never worked with more than two colors in a round and these socks are no exception. The main patterning of the socks is comprised of three-row peerie patterns, the traditional Scottish Fair Isle motifs.
Sized for children, Women's S & M, Men's M & L. You can use any sock yarn, or for a heavier sock use Guernsey or sport weight yarn.
