Working in the round

Use stitch markers to mark the side stitches, which are worked in the current background color, not in pattern.

Work side stitches, then repeat chart 1 over the front and back, in each of your contrast colours, it doesn’t matter the order of your colours as it is the same pattern four times over.

Notes

Slip stitches

At the start of each row, when working flat either after dividing for the neck, or working the entire jumper flat, slipping a stitch makes it easier to sew up, as well as facilitating picking up stitches later on for the neckline or sleeves.

Side stitches

1 and 1 fair isle also looks good, if you don’t want a solid colour stripes at each side. This is what I did for my demo
