Design and Creation of Knitwear with the Fair Isle Technique

“We have come to the end of this cute Fair Isle knitting journey. Next, I leave you written the steps and recommendations that you must follow to make your final project. Preparation, inspiration and color palette Define who you will knit for and select your materials based on that. It is important that the different colors have the same thickness so that the fabric is neat. Get inspired wherever you want: nature, the street, art, the kitchen... and then define a color palette. Remember that you must take into account the colors of the yarns in this process.

Design Design your garment. I recommend drawing and knitting as many color swatches as you need. Remember that if you like your project in a small size, your sweater will be a dream! Don't skip this step! Fabric Start by weaving, following the advice I gave you in the course. Then, when knitting, start with the neck elastic. Don't forget to relax and enjoy it, so the strands will have the right tension and the fabric will shine 100%. Continue with the yoke. It is important to read the diagram and check that the threads are ordered from the back and with adequate tension, so that the yoke does not get wrinkled. This is the slowest part, but also the most fun. Before separating the stitches, to continue with the sleeves and body, try on the yoke to make sure it fits you. When knitting the sleeves, you can do it open or closed. You can also choose whether to make them smooth, striped, with little drawings... whatever you want! The same with the body of the sweater. When sewing, it is important to do it calmly and patiently, so that it is neat and not noticeable. Finally, it remains only to hide the loose ends and block the weaving. You will be amazed at the end result. Now share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your sweater and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It sure is very enriching! Don't forget to learn and practice the technique a lot! Remember that practice makes perfect. Perfection does not exist, but whoever practices it the most closely achieves it. See you on the forum! ”

“Final project Thank you very much for taking this course. I am happy to have been your teacher. Now it's your turn to make your own final project. Don't forget to follow the following steps that we saw in the course. First we define who would wear the garment and we saw how inspiration can come from anywhere. We also defined a color palette and the materials that we would use. I taught you how to make the sweater design paying special attention to this part of the yoke.
