Fair Isle yoke

The Fair Isle yoke is a distinctive pattern and style found in knitting, named after Fair Isle, a small island in Scotland. It features intricate designs made using multiple colored yarns, often in geometric shapes or floral motifs, typically located around the shoulders and upper chest area of a garment. This technique creates a warm, textured look, as the yarn colors are carried across the back of the work. Fair Isle knitting is celebrated for its craftsmanship and visual appeal, making it a popular choice for sweaters, hats, and other knitwear.
