1940s Diamond Yoke Fair Isle Sweater Knitting Pattern

This beautifully balanced Diamond Yoke sweater is a lovely project for anyone who enjoys classic
Fair Isle knitting with a clean, wearable finish. Originally designed to be worked in fine 3-ply yarn,
it creates a lightweight fabric with crisp detail through the yoke.

The Fair Isle pattern is written out row by row, so there’s no chart reading required, just settle in
and enjoy the rhythm of the knitting. If you prefer working with 4-ply yarn, that’s an easy option
too; simply check your tension and adjust where needed.
