Hello knitters! I have setted myself the goal to learn a new technique every few months. Now that I’m comfortable knitting in the round I’m looking to dip my toes into colorwork and was wondering if you had any recomendations for patterns to introduce me to fair isle. Preferably a small project, as I’d like to work my way into a sweater.

Thanks in advance for any recs, I’ve already learnt so much from you guys here :)

    Jamie Lomax’s Doodle series of patterns are a fun way to dip your toes in color work (stranded knitting). You pick a single sided cowl or a infinity loop knit in the round. The pattern comes with a bunch of little mini charts, most are worked two colors at a time, and you pick which ones you want to use and which order.

      I’ve seen those patterns on Ravelry but I thought they were way too over my head. Thanks for letting me know they’re acually newbie-friendly. I think I’m gonna try the Basic Doodle cowl first :)
