1950s Men’s Fair Isle Pullover Knitting Pattern – Two Sizes

This 1950s men’s Fair Isle pullover knitting pattern produces a classic patterned sweater with
a traditional colour-work design and a comfortable, everyday fit. The pullover is worked in
3-ply yarn using a warm, earthy palette of natural, brown, emerald green, rust and yellow,
creating a balanced Fair Isle pattern that stands out without being overly complicated.

The sweater is knitted on No. 9 and No. 12 needles, giving the finished garment a neat,
lightweight fabric that works well for layering over a shirt. The design reflects the
practical style of mid-century knitwear, with a patterned body and clean shaping
that makes it suitable for both casual and country wear.

The pattern includes two sizes, designed to fit 36–38 inch chest and 40–42 inch chest.
The finished length from the top of the shoulders is approximately 23 inches for both
sizes, giving the pullover a classic proportion typical of 1950s men’s knitwear.
