Fair Isle patterns

This week the class have been learning about Fair Isle knitwear.  The Shetland topic display wall has a few Fair Isle patterned items on it, and we used these as examples of what the patterns can look like!

We learned that we use a repeated pattern when designing a pattern such as Fair Isle.  We used this knowledge to design our own Burra Bears, using both traditional Fair Isle patterns and our own repeated patterns.
