About Fairsle

Fairisle · Lesson 1 of 3


Knitting 2 colors in a row with one pass of the carriage is known as Fairisle. When machine knitting place both colors in the yarn feeder of the carriage, let the punchcard instruct the machine to select needles and both colors will knit as instructed.

Tell a hand knitter that you can knit a fairisle hat in an afternoon and they will be amazed.
(PLUS your fairisle will look sooooo much better than hand knitting. )
