Fair Isle Crochet: Demystifying Colorwork

via Craftsy

Overview

Crochet Fair Isle patterns that look just as smooth and sharp as knitting! Join expert instructor and published author Karen Whooley as she demystifies Fair Isle charts and provides tips for creating your own colorful patterns. Learn how to cleanly change colors and carry your yarn with floats on the back as you crochet the cozy Poet’s Shawl. Work over your second color to avoid floats that snag and banish bulk by carefully encasing your ends as you crochet the beautiful and functional Tapestry Trivet. Finally, conquer the Fair Isle hat by seamlessly adding rounds – and colors – without noticeable jogs interrupting the graphic motif. After this class, you’ll have the skills you need to confidently create complex-looking color patterns that are continuous and utterly beautiful.
